||

| String limited to 15 characters | abc123 @ & xyz | ^.{1,15}$ Note: It is not advisable to apply this type of constraint on memo questions, where HTML code may be added when the text is formatted. When the constraint is being checked, the whole character string will be considered (the text entered as well as the HTML code). example If a user enters A bold text in a memo question, the character string considered is <strong>A bold text</strong> and the size of the string is 28 characters, not 11 |
