Hi, Is there any way to set minimum character requirements for the text entry boxes (which show up if you select allow for text entry) in multiple choice questions? the options are quite different from a regular textbox question.

I agree that having the box with the check option is much easier for the respondent. If you are only interested in that they don't leave the box blank, I would not use custom validation but rather the feature that Kate pointed out. This will be much more simple for you to program. You would choose to "force response" in her screen shot above.This then allows all of the following scenarios:* If the box is not checked, the text field can be left blank and advance* If the box is not checked but there is text in the field Qualtrics automatically throws an error* If the box is checked and the text field is empty, it will not advance until the respondent types something in the box.

How can I do that for each of the textboxes. The custom validation works at the question level, not the option level. So basically, what I want to do is that if a respondent selects each of the idea boxes then he/she will be required to enter at least a 50 character description. This is the screenshot for your reference. > > Thanks in advance!> > !> > > Suppose you have 3 options then the conditions will be as shown in the image.!
