Is it possible to change the text field max length inside a block instead of in the settings???

No, but this will effectively limit the length of a text input field:

Just change the 4 to the max number of characters you want.

You can use the [length block](https://docs.thunkable.com/blocks/blocks/text#get-length-of-string) and join it with “/60”.
