ODK Regex problem

[criscamboim]

Good morning, everyone. I’m having a problem with the ODK. When formatting a question in KoboToolbox so that a given field only receives 11 digits from 0 to 9 as an answer, I used the following regex(., ‘^[1]{11}$’) expression
However, the ODK only accepts 9 numbers and not 11 as it should. Does anyone know what might be happening and how I can fix it?
Thank you,
Cris

@criscamboim, this post discussed previously should help you solve your issue:

How to limit my id number entry to 10 characters?

Hi @PamelaLlanes, Try using the regex code regex(., '^[0-9]{10}$') with the question type as text. A similar example has already been discussed in the forum: To learn more on regex please feel free to visit our support article Restricting text responses with regular expressions. Have a great day!

Please note to ensure the following:

• Your question type should be text instead of integer.
• The appearance column should have numbers
