Short Answer
Configure single-line text response questions
The Short Answer element captures a single line of text (e.g. name, email, or a brief reply). Use it when you need a concise, one-line response that you can validate and optionally enhance with AI.
When to use
- Email, name, or short open-ended answers
- When you need a concise, one-line response
- When you want to enforce character limits or regex validation
Customization options
When editing a Short Answer question, you can configure the following properties:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Question Text | The main question displayed to the respondent (required). |
| Description | Optional helper text or context below the question (up to 100 characters). |
| Placeholder Text | The hint text shown inside the input field before the respondent types (e.g. "Enter your answer here"). |
| Error Message | The message shown when validation fails (e.g. required field not filled, invalid selection). Keep it clear and actionable for better user experience. Default: "Please complete this required question". |
| Required field | When enabled, the respondent must provide an answer before submitting the form. |
| Minimum Characters | The minimum number of characters the respondent must enter. Leave empty for no minimum. |
| Maximum Characters | The maximum number of characters allowed (e.g. 200). Responses exceeding this limit will fail validation. |
| Enable Regex Validation | When enabled, you can apply custom regex patterns to validate the response format (e.g. email, phone number). |
| Enable AI Response Enhancement | When enabled, AI can enhance or refine the respondent's answer before it is stored. |
Viewing responses
Short answer responses appear in the Response Summary for your form. You can view them as text, filter by time period or user segment, and track trends over time.
