Morina,

For your case, this should be the valid script. Do not use .closest("form")
because there is no form name "form"
<script>
$("#entryfield").validate({
  rules: {
    entryfield: {
      max: 5
    }
  }
});
</script>

The above script will set all maximum values to the whole form as 5,

For specific input, using the validation plugin may require more work but
this should work
<script>

$("#dgGQFkvROzb-pp5KtxJWaZA-val").attr({
       "max" : 5
    });
</script>
