Hi,
Is it possible to have regex validation of text fields in a survey?
We have some formats that input needs to adhere towards.

Hi Liz,
I’m circling back on this question by my colleague, Simon. We’re currently using regular text fields to capture time inputs on a key Typeform that is used to capture user data when onboarding to a personalised athletic training service. The Typeform is built into a web container within our mobile apps. The time inputs that we are capturing need to adhere to the HH:MM:SS format. We’re trying everything to communicate explicitly to the user the importance of correct input, however we consistently see input errors on the output data.
It is the time input data that we are looking to validate. Even better if there is a time input field HH:MM:SS that we’re unaware of :)
Thanks,
Ben @ Kollektiv
Hi
Theree is a way to use regex to validate an input?
Hi
Is this feature on the roadmap? Its a bit of a blocker for us choosing to use Typeform, we are currently evaluating form software providers and this is one of our core requirements
Hi
Ah that is unfortunate as it probably means we can’t use typeform. I want to apply regex validation to a field so that I can ensure the data entered matches the expected pattern. e.g. we need to capture our customers UK bank account and sort code, or their company registration number. These will have certain field validation requirements
Ah, got it,
+1 for this. Need to validate a “hidden field”
Also interested in having custom regex and custom placeholder. Maybe you coud have a specific field that would be more permissive.
Use cases: UK postal code / US SSN or EIN / plate numbers / specific date formats such as MM/YYYY, or including time
+1 for this. Need to validate a “hidden field”
A hidden field can be validated in Javascript before passing it to Typeform
This is a completely obvious feature to include.
This forces me to allow my form to accept “*@!#&*)!@(#*!@)#(*!)@#” as an input to a simple name field...
