Hi, I'm wondering if it's possible to validate my "other" box -



Here is the code I would use for this if I were validating a question or subquestion:

Question validation equation

Question validation tip

In this case, I believe instead of targeting self - we would need to target something like "Q1_other.shown" - but I think this solution would need some kind of JavaScript solution?

Hi,
no JS needed.

Activate your survey, enter the data and submit.
Look at the answers and you will see how this "open ends" are saved. (as "Q1_other")

Now you can include this in your "regexMatch('/^(\w[-._+\w]*\w@\w[-._\w]*\w\.\w{2,3})$/', Q1_other)
and add the condition
that !is_empty(Q1_other)
or Q1=="-oth-"


Example:
equation:
(regexMatch('/^(\w[-._+\w]*\w@\w[-._\w]*\w\.\w{2,3})$/', Q1_other)) and (!is_empty(Q1_other))

Tip:
{if((!regexMatch('/^(\w[-._+\w]*\w@\w[-._\w]*\w\.\w{2,3})$/', Q1_other)) and (!is_empty(Q1_other)),"Please, corrrect Email","")}

Thanks JoffM

It seems the code is currently triggering when we don't want it to, see screenshot below:

You see, what is missing?

regexMatch('/^(\w[-._+\w]*\w@\w[-._\w]*\w\.\w{2,3})$/', Q1_other)) and (!is_empty(Q1_other)) or (Q1==1)

If using the default answer codes, it might be:

Thanks for the assistance guys, I'm happy with how it's working now

Since there are .social , .anything etc domain now, need to be updated to
regexMatch('/^(\w[-._+\w]*\w@\w[-._\w]*\w\.\w{2,63})$/', Q1_other))
