Freeform Question Text Entry Character/word Minimum?

Apr 04, 2019

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. 

Any thoughts? Workarounds?

Hi Michelle,

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.
