[RS] Validating a free text prompt

[ADCJTR]

Good morning, afternoon and evening;

I want to validate a free text prompt to limit the chance of user error by giving an acceptable range of responses without using a drop down list. I have had a play and the only way I can do it is using a boolean variable and a conditional block on the following page. is there an easier way that I am missing?

Thanks in advance,
DJR

Hi,

Is there any reason you can't use a select & search prompt here? It would seem to be an easy mechanism to apply validation to the entered value.

No reason other than picky users.   :)
I wrote some script to validate.
let me know if you want me to post.

How long is the list of allowed values? Is it static? Would a JavaScript solution work for you?
