Set a minimum number of characters to be filled in?

Do you ever want the field to be blank, as when first opening the form?

You would have to use a custom vaildattion script.

George - Yes, I would prefer the field to appear blank, but if that's not possible I could work around that.

I asked about the field being blank because that would imply you want the minimum number of character to be zero, at least to begin with. So the next question is when, exactly, do you want to enforce a minimum of 200 characters, and how do you want it enforced? For example, after the user enters some text (or the data gets set programmatically, or by importing form data) and the number of characters is below your limit, what, exactly, do you want to happen? Options include rejecting the input, alerting the user to enter more text and setting the focus back to the field, etc. In other words, you need to clarify how you want it to work, and the more details the better.

When the user enters text that is below the # limit, I would like the user to be alerted to enter more text. This is a field on a questionnaire that I would like to prevent the user from simply writing "Good" or "It was bad." I would like them to include more details in their responses.
