Hello,

I am trying to input a question validation equation for a multiple choice question where the other option is a fill in. I'm getting this error though and not sure what I am doing wrong.
 
I want to validate that the number that will be entered will be starting with +31 and after that 9 digits will follow.
 

Thank you.

    Hi,
    1. It is wrong syntax; there are two slashes missing
    regexMatch("/^\+31\d{9}$/",Q1_other)

    2. The main issue.
    The leading "+" is not stored. There are some other threads about this here.
     
    As the "+31" is a constant value you may only show it in front of the entry field with
    regexMatch("/^\d{9}$/",Q1_other)
     
     

    Or you force a "0031"
     

    Or you redesign the question and use an inputmask.
