Hello,
We want to use regular expressions to validate the content that students enter in forms to catch human mistake.

Wilhelm Mauch Hello,
Is this a feature you'd consider adding to form fields?
-
Adam Sentz Got any examples?
-
Wilhelm Mauch Yes sir.
One of the scenarios where we'd need it is to collect height in pounds (https://regex101.com/r/uiS6ni) for cap and gown sizes.
Current scenarios:
- Text field containing weight in pounds
- International phone numbers with '+' and the country code (+234 876543210 or +234-876543210)
- Email Address fields we don't want to link and not Hold for review.
- Full Name field that needs to contain at least 2 words (first and last name).
- Text field to list items separated by a comma (,) with min. of 3 items.
- etc...
-
Adam Sentz Cool, thanks! Definitely some fiddly ones in there that we probably wouldn't bake in validation for.
-
Wilhelm Mauch Amazing, thank you.
I’m thinking of adding an input field when choosing text fields where we can enter custom regular expressions. Populi could display some examples like (pounds, etc.)
