"Max characters allowed" cutoff doesn't work in buttons

[TeferiHero]

Has your issue been reported?

• I have searched the existing issues and confirm it has not been reported.
• I give permission for members of the FlutterFlow team to access and test my project for the sole purpose of investigating this issue.

Current Behavior

When I set the "max characters allowed" property, it doesn't cut off the text in buttons. It doesn't generate any code.

Expected Behavior

I expect the text in buttons to be cut off when there are more characters than specified.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a string constant (e.g. "LONG TEXT")
2. Create a page
3. Add a button, and a text widget
4. Set the text of a button and the text widget to the constant.
5. Set the "max characters allowed" property of both widgets to a small number
6. Enter test mode
7. See that the text widget has its text shortened, and the button doesn't.

Reproducible from Blank

• The steps to reproduce above start from a blank project.

Context

I'm trying to cut off too long, generated text in buttons.

Visual documentation

The property adds "maybeHandleOverflow" in the text widget but not the button widget

Hey @TeferiHero, I was able to replicate the issue you are describing.

Will send it to the team so they can take a look.

Thanks for the report!

This issue is present not only in buttons but also in any text widget if you use a num variable for the max characters allowed property. For example, I'm using a conditional to specify different values for the max number of characters on mobile and desktop, but it doesn't work. The only number it takes into account is the default value

I'm experiencing this same bug in a textbox too - identical behavior.
