I have a question that asks for entering the phone number of the farmer , but after I deploy the form and try to collect details of the same on Kobocollect, it is not accepting beyond 9 digits(whereas it is accepting 10 digits and more on the web preview). Please help me out on this

@Dnes Thanks for the help, however the code is working only on web preview, and is somehow still taking only 9 digits on kobocollect app
Could you use this regex in constraint regex(.,‘[0-9]{10}’).
I had checked it and its working on my end. Do let me know if its working or not.
Regards,

The issue is probably that you are trying to use a integer question type to store the phone number, but integers are limited to 9 digits. You should use a regular text question instead, with a numbers appearance.
From Question Types - ODK Docs
Number text widget
…
It can also be used in place of the Integer widget or Decimal widget if large numbers are needed (the integer widget has a limit of nine digits, and the decimal widget has a limit of 15 characters).
