Custom Validation Text
Custom Validation Text allows you to customize the error message that is displayed to the participant when they do not enter a valid response, such as correct format or minimum number of characters/numbers based on the form item restrictions you applied.
The Advanced settings allows the you to select a Field Type from the pre-defined options. The format for each of these options are validated when the participant enters data and the Custom Validation Text will be displayed if the participant fails to enter a valid response. Optionally, you can enter a minimum and maximum number to restrict characters entered in the response field. If the participant fails to enter the minimum number of characters, the Custom Validation Text will be displayed.
- Note: If the Tooltip is configured and no Custom Validation Text is defined, the Tooltip text will be displayed as the error message when an invalid response is entered. When both Custom Validation Text and Tooltips are defined, the Custom Validation Text will be displayed as the error message and the Tooltip will only be displayed via the informational icon, the ‘i’.
