Maximum amount of characters that can be entered inside the [LineEdit]. If [code]0[/code], there is no limit.
+ When a limit is defined, characters that would exceed [member max_length] are truncated. This happens both for existing [member text] contents when setting the max length, or for new text inserted in the [LineEdit], including pasting. If any input text is truncated, the [signal text_change_rejected] signal is emitted with the truncated substring as parameter.

+ [codeblocks]
+ [gdscript]
+ text = "Hello world"
+ max_length = 5
+ # `text` becomes "Hello".
+ max_length = 10
+ text += " goodbye"
+ # `text` becomes "Hello good".
+ # `text_change_rejected` is emitted with "bye" as parameter.

- Emitted when trying to append text that would overflow the [member max_length].
+ Emitted when appending text that overflows the [member max_length]. The appended text is truncated to fit [member max_length], and the part that couldn't fit is passed as the [code]rejected_substring[/code] argument.
