Hi,

I was just checking if it is possible to validate if a text input field ‘is not null’, just based on the field validations, but that’s unfortunately not possible. I do have this function:

However, I cannot specify that the ‘number of characters’ has to be greater than, for example, 1. I would’ve expected to have the option of ‘specific value’, but I unfortunately don’t see that one:

Could you guys please make this possible?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I think it should be no problem to offer the ‘specific value’-option here for cases like this. I’ll ask one of our developers to have a look at it.

We found this to be a bug and released a small update last night with a fix.
