I am trying to limit the number of characters (2,500) or words (350) in a multiple choice question that allows text entry (e.g., other please specify response).I know I have 2 options: a) custom validation using regex or b) javascript. I tried the following regex but it did not work.^(?:\\b\\w+\\b*){1,350}$Anything longer than 1 line in the text box gets flagged. Below you'll see an example I used that should not have been flagged and it was. Any suggestions?

I was actually able to figure out a regex solution before I saw your latest response.For regex, I used this:^\\W*(?:\\w+\\b\\W*){0,350}$

Hi smgreenPhD Can you try the below JS and let me know if this works out for you?Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function(){jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" .InputText").each(function () {jQuery(this).attr('maxlength','19');});});
