Thanks, @TomG! I feel like this should be easier than it is turning out to be. Will start a new thread.
I'm struggling with this is well. When I posed this question to Qualtrics Customer Support, they directed me to use embedded data. Here's what I was told: "Unfortunately Regex expressions and java script are outside of scope of support, and I cannot help you with them, but you can do something different, rather than using a Regex expression, you can create an embedded data and assign the word count in each keyboard event (in the same way that currently you are updating the count), then in the custom validation you can create the logic to pass the validation if embedded data text_length is greater than or equal to 500, it is important to create the embedded data before the block where you are using the java script, in your case you only have one element so the embedded data must be at the very top of the survey flow." None of this made any sense to me and I sure would appreciate the help!
Well, my screenshot didn't work, so here's a link: https://gardner-webb.edu/csodinner Thanks again!
To close the loop, we ended up creating a separate web template for us to use on our Thank You pages that would prevent the weird theme display. Thanks to those who provided input, I appreciate it! !
Hi @VirginiaM, I've contacted our CMS support team to see what assistance they can provide. Please keep your fingers crossed! Cindy
