TextBox character limit script not working?
This LocalScript under a TextBox contains the following code:
script.Parent.Changed:Connect(function()
script.Parent.Text = script.Parent.Text:sub(1,239)
end)
This is supposed to enforce a 239 character limit on the TextBox, but it doesn't. There are no errors on both the client and the server. I don't understand why this isn't working. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Changing the script to this fixed this issue:
local textbox = script.Parent
TextBox:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Text"):Connect(function()
if string.len(script.Parent.Text) > 239 then
print("Limit exceeded")
local text = string.sub(script.Parent.Text, 1,239)
script.Parent.Text = text
end
end)
