title: Limit amount of content elements in a column in a backend layout of TYPO3
body: <p>I have to implement a homepage in TYPO3 so that it has a different look and a different <code>backend_layout</code> than the subpages. In one column the editors can insert boxes as content elements. I want to have a maximum limit of boxes (or an exact amount) that can be inserted, e.g. 4 boxes.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to achieve this?</p>
  
  <p>The only limitation that I found was the type of content elements not their amount.</p>
