Feb 1, 2026February 2026: Delivered Field Component UX and robustness enhancements in the digdir/designsystemet repository. Implemented accurate character count feedback when data-limit changes and hardened tooltip behavior to prevent errors when Escape is pressed before the tooltip is mounted. A targeted fix to observe the data-limit attribute keeps character count in sync with dynamic limits, reducing edge-case bugs in form fields and improving reliability across the design system.
