For surveys, you can use this column to enter number of the survey question for screen display
Is it possible to restrict text inputs to a defined length or digit/character combination? You can restrict text inputs by using custom field validation types. Custom field validation types must be created by the REDCap Development team. Your REDCap Administrator will be able to submit requests for new custom field validation types. The request will be evaluated by the concerned team and approved requests will be fulfilled. However it is not possible to specify a deadline for meeting the request. Can I populate radio buttons, dropdowns and checkbox field choices using an “if then” statement? There is currently no way of populating field choices dynamically. You can create multiple fields and response option lists and hide or display them using branching logic.
In certain circumstances, you may be able to populate a dropdown list from another REDCap field, but this is a very specific use case and requires contacting a REDCap Admin. It is not possible to build survey or data entry forms in a columnar format in REDCap. You can use a combination of branching logic, section headers and descriptive text to shorten the instrument and group related questions. Is there a question type that is a radiobutton/checkbox/dropdown with a text box for “Other, specify”? No, this specific question type is not available. You can add a text field after the question and use branching logic so that if “Other” is selected, a text box appears to capture the data.
If validation is employed for text fields, min and max values may be utilized. Min, max, neither or both can be used for each individual field. The following text validation types may utilize min and/or max values:
New validation types are not automatically available will need to be enabled by your REDCap Administrator. Once enabled, they’ll appear in the text validation drop-down list in the Online Designer. All formats are available via the Data Dictionary.What is the character limit for a variable name, field label, text typed into a “text box (short text)”, and text typed into a “notes box (paragraph text)”?

- Ability to use short cut keys
- Less space on forms; use when you have limited space
- Good when you need your choices visible
- Good option for minimal response options
- Available with the matrix options when building forms
REDCap doesn’t have a specific function for e, so you will need to use the numerical equivalent to e and calculate on that. For example:
(2.718281828) ^ ([field_1]). Both sides of the exponent need to be encased in parentheses.What are the possible Text Validation Types?
Certain text validation types must be enabled by a REDCap Admin. If you do not see an option below in your instance, contact your REDCap Administrator.
If you have another field validated as a date and with the (and possibly the or ), then you could use a Data Quality rule with the “Execute in real time on data entry forms” checkbox checked. The DQ rule real time execution won’t work on a survey, so on a survey you would need to settle for a descriptive text field that displays an error message if the date is greater than your date field with in it.
Is there a way to hide the “today” button on date fields when it is not applicable to the question?
