Survey123 Mask Input for latin plant names

Kaj

Hello

I would like to create an Input Mask in Survey123 for Latin plant names to make sure that the genus name starts with a capital but the species name is a small letter. Also it should be possible to only write the genus name but if one writes a species name, it should start with a small letter. How can I do that?

@Kaj, are you using a text question type?  You should be able to do this using a Regex expression in the Constraint column.  I recommend you use two separate entries, one for genus and one for species.  If your list of possible answers isn't incredibly long (like, if you're working within a relatively small region or extent), you might even want to consider using select_one question types instead of text and build in the genus and species options under the choices sheet.
