TextBox character limit script not working?
This LocalScript under a TextBox contains the following code:
1 | script.Parent.Changed:Connect(function() |
2 | script.Parent.Text = script.Parent.Text:sub(1,239) |
3 | 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:
1 | local textbox = script.Parent |
2 | TextBox:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Text"):Connect(function() |
3 | if string.len(script.Parent.Text) > 239 then |
4 | print("Limit exceeded") |
5 | local text = string.sub(script.Parent.Text, 1,239) |
6 | script.Parent.Text = text |
7 | end |
8 | end) |
