Is there a way to set the requirements of a text entry freeform question to a minimum number of characters or words? So say I want learners to write 100 characters or 50 words before they can submit for example.
I can see that I can force people to answer but this means a character must be entered.
Alyssa is talking about a maximum limit. I'm hoping to find a minimum limit. So on an ungraded survey question for example, learners will have to enter a certain amount of characters or words in order to proceed rather than just one character.
Attached is another example using JavaScript. Here, the user's text entry must be at least 100 characters long and include 50 words.
Remember that when using JavaScript, any variables you want to pass back and forth between Storyline and JavaScript must first be created in Storyline. Also, the file must be published in order for the JavaScript to run.

Hello Michelle,
Check this previous post and a possible solution or workaround by Alyssa from the comment section suggesting to use an Essay slide to impose a limit.
I hope this helps!
Thanks, Ivan!
