XF 1.5 Limit length of Occupation field?

The occupation field is already limited to 50 characters. That seems like a reasonable limit, to me, but it isn't configurable.
Theoretically you could limit it further by editing the template.
You would just change this:
To this:
In the account_personal_details template.
Bear in mind, however, it wouldn't take much for those who are somewhat knowledgable to attempt to bypass that limit, so it certainly isn't infallible.
I should also point out that you will not be able to accept a length greater than 50. This limit is the maximum the database field is configured for and anything longer than 50 will be automatically truncated by our DataWriter.

Rich (BB code):
<dd><input type="text" name="occupation" value="{$visitor.occupation}" id="ctrl_occupation" class="textCtrl OptOut" maxlength="25" /></dd>In the account_personal_details template.
