Good morning,
We have a question with four form fields. We would like respondents to enter  1 number in two of these and 1 letter in the other two.
is it possible to set the number of characters / digits for the form fields?
 
Thank you very much

Hi Marzia_D,

You have to add custom validation on your text fields in order to control the answers.

For example, you can easily force a number beetween 0-9

For the single character, it is a little more tricky as you need to use regex :

/^[a-z]$/
will authorize only a single character beetween "a" and "z"

So I have a text entry field and have added validation such that the user much respond with a numerical answer. I now want to use these numbers to plot a figure in a Qualtrics report. The issue I am having is that I am unable to utilize this field as a breakout for the figure. Am I missing something, or is this a glaring oversight on Qualtrics part?
