GitHub Issues addressed

• This PR closes issue 1253. "Style: Display minimum character limit for reviews"

What I did

• Reviews show the number of required characters, counting down from 200 to 1. Once reaching 200 characters, the character count will count up as normal.
• Changed hard coded value 200 for textarea.minLength
• review.html is the only file modified

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Updated the live review text counter to use the field’s configured minimum length instead of a fixed threshold.
  • When the input is below the minimum, the counter shows current/min required characters and uses an alert (danger) styling.
  • Once the minimum is met or exceeded, it switches back to displaying the current character count in a muted style.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The review textarea’s live character counter now derives its minimum requirement from textarea.minLength instead of a hardcoded value, and updates the displayed count and color based on whether the input meets that threshold.

Can we show the target also, not just the remaining count?

[Adrian-E-V]

yup, how is this @jackrhoa ?

It will count up normally after reaching 200
