Currently, text fields can only be marked as "required" — meaning the field just needs to contain something before submission. This works fine for basic use cases, but there's no way to enforce a minimum quality threshold on the input itself.
What we're requesting:
Extend the existing field validation logic to support minimum input rules across the following field types:
Single-line text fields — define a minimum character count before the field is considered valid
Multi-line text fields — same as above, particularly useful for notes, descriptions, or feedback fields where a one-word answer isn't acceptable
Multi-select fields — define a minimum number of options that must be selected before the field passes validation
Why this matters:
Right now, a user can technically satisfy a "required" text field by typing a single character. For fields where meaningful input is expected — a job description, a project brief, a reason for contact — there's no way to enforce that without custom workarounds. Similarly, multi-select fields with no minimum allow users to submit without engaging with the options at all.
This would bring text and select field validation in line with the kind of rules already available in more mature form builders, and would be especially valuable for onboarding forms, intake questionnaires, and CRM data quality.
Implementation suggestion:
Mirror the UX of the existing "Required" toggle — add an optional "Minimum characters" or "Minimum selections" input that appears alongside it in the field settings panel. If left blank, behaviour remains unchanged.
