I have created a survey, where respondents have to submit responses to open-ended questions, and I want to set the limit to the number of words like 150 words. When would Survey Sparrow have the option to limit the number of words or characters for open-ended questions?

Hi Noor,

We'd like to extend a warm welcome to our community! 👋

We apologize for the delay in getting back to you. Unfortunately, we don't have the ability to limit the number of words for open-ended questions in the user interface. Currently, we have two options, Single Line and Multi-Line text. However, I have passed along your request to our product team for their consideration.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. 😃
