I have a survey with a couple of willingness-to-pay (WTP) questions. Those questions can be answered through a textbox to prevent any bias by the anchor points of a slider. The problem with the text box is that people who fill out my survey perhaps indicate their WTP with a comma or with a dot as a decimal place.In the final data, the observations that used a comma to indicate decimals are just shown without any decimal point (i.e., 3,5 → 35). How do I solve this issue? Is there any way other than telling participants to please use decimal points?Final note: most answers for the WTP will be between 2 and 10, so participants do not use commas (or points) to indicate thousands.I am very thankful for any help. Enjoy the holidays :)

@cane van caneYou can limit it via regex and JavaScript combination. Eliminate the ‘,’ input and limit number from 2-10 along with decimal places (below code limits to 2 digits after decimal). If the input doesn’t match regex it would clear the text box. Add below code in Question JavaScript section.Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() { var inputElement = jQuery("#" + this.questionId + " .InputText"); inputElement.on("blur", function() { var inputValue = jQuery(this).val(); // Regex for valid number format (2-9.99 or 10) var numberPattern = /^((10)|([2-9](\.\d{0,2})?))$/; if (!numberPattern.test(inputValue)) { // Invalid input jQuery(this).val(""); // Clear the input field or handle as needed } });});Hope it helps!Happy Holidays
