Mutiple short text - subquestion validation: only letters & only one character was created by Vinicos
Hello,

I have a multiple short text question with 3 subquestions. I want all of them to be validated only with letters and I want the first and the third to be validated with one character only. How can I do that?
LS version: 3.17.7+190627

Thanks

I want all of them to be validated only with letters

Place this in the "Subquestion validation equation" field:

Code:
is_empty(this) OR regexMatch('/^[a-zA-Z]+$/', this)

I want the first and the third to be validated with one character only

Place this in the "Question validation equation" field (assuming that the first and third sub-question codes are SQ001 and SQ003):

Code:
(is_empty(self.sq_SQ001) OR strlen(self.sq_SQ001) < 2) AND (is_empty(self.sq_SQ003) OR strlen(self.sq_SQ003) < 2)
