Hello,

i'm having the trouble to limit the inputs for each field for text array question. i have 4 Y-scale items and 3 for X-scale. i want users to be limited only to enter numbers from 0 to 3 in each field. 
I tried subquestion validation /^[0-3]{1}$/ but i guess i have to point to each subquestion code, can't figure it out 

Hi,

If I understood correctly you tried to use this /^[0-3]{1}$/ in "Logic / validation equation".
Here you have to use the function "regexMatch(pattern,QCode)" 
To use your regex you enter it in "Gerneral settings / validation"

In my opinin you'd use an array(numbers) wth
text input
min value: 1
max value: 3

General settings / validation worked like a charm, thank you.
Just a quick follow-up, is there a way to reference in text array subquestion validation second column (case is that, user enters values for 8 items, 1st column is the number of times item used and 2nd column is rank). The aim is to only force user to enter values from 0 to 3 in 2nd column. the patterns of the question is the database is G02Q16_1_1 to G02Q16_8_1 for first column and G02Q16_1_2 to G02Q16_8_2. So how can i put reference to subquestion validation for G02Q16_1_2 to G02Q16_8_2

In question validation equation:

regexMatch("/^[0-3]{1}$/",G02Q16_1_2) AND regexMatch("/^[0-3]{1}$/",G02Q16_2_2) and ...
But your expression has to cover that the field is empty.
Or you add this condition to each row like
is_empty(QCode) or regexMatch(pattern,QCode)

 

Thanks a lot, it worked i didn't include for empty, as question is still mandatory and all items needs to be filled. Before even i tried same syntax but with regexMatch("/^[0-3]{1}$/",self.sq_1_2) it didn't work, only regexMatch("/^[0-3]{1}$/",G02Q16_n_2) pattern.

You should allow empty entries in the regex
Otherwise you have an initial error message, as all fields are empty, what is not allowed by you regex.
This doesn't look very professional.

And you afford to  allow "empty" by regex because the question is mandatory.
