Word entry limit

[jotim]

Hello colleagues,
How can I limit the amount of text entered in the box reserved for text-based responses? I want the person entering the information to write for example “Not more than 250 words in the text box being filled such that when it’s beyond 250 words, it is highlighted with red, showing that he/she has exceeded the limit”

You can use the function; string-length (.)<=1000 as the contraint of the text questions. I am assuming here that on average each word is 4 characters length that’s why i am capping it at 1k(4x250)

@jotim, you should be able to do it as outlined in the post discussed previously:

Restricting text response with exactly 8 to 10 words while collecting data

Hi @GVitale, Adding to what @wroos has advised, you could also do it by slightly editing the code that has been outlined in the support article Restricting text responses with regular expressions. [image] To restrict the words to exactly 8 words: regex(., '^\W*(\w+\b\W*){8}$') To restrict the words to exactly 10 words: regex(., '^\W*(\w+\b\W*){10}$') Have a great day!
