Hello,
I am using a "decimal" question type and want to restrict the answers to a certain range and to a specific format:
- Only values between 0 and 14
- Up to two leading digits (before decimal separator)
- Up to two decimal places
- Decimal separator optional when no decimal places
- No leading zero
I have tried various options, but none was completely satisfying.
Constraint
With a constraint like ". >= 0 and . <= 14" it is not possible to restrict the number of decimal places.
Input Mask
The input mask enforces the answer to exactly match the mask, i. e. the value 1 for the input mask 99.99 would require the answer 01.00, otherwise the answer fails validation.
Regex
I cannot think of any regular expression that fulfills all above mentioned restrictions since it has to do two things: Set limits to the allowed values (0 <= x <= 14) and also format the answer correctly. Moreover, I have the impression that in Survey123 regular expressions don't work correctly when applied to a decimal question.
So, what I need is a combination of constraint and
- either input mask -> which would need to be more flexible (e. g. not enforcing the answer to exactly match the mask)
- or regular expression
- or the possibility to delimiter the number of digits before and after the decimal separator.
Does anyone have an idea how to deal with this?
Are there any enhancements planned for a future version of Survey123?
Right now, is it possible to combine a value limiting constraint and a regular expression (I was not successful with my tests)?
Thank you very much, best regards,
Jürgen
