    How do I create a mask for symbols and to limit number to be no greater than a set figure. E.g when I need input to be below 15%

    Hi there,

    Happy to help!

    To do so, you could set a character limit alongside the input mask in a Short Text field like so:

    I hope this helps! Please let us know if we can assist further!

    Hi Thank you for your assistance. I have won on the %, However i have set
    Character limit to minimum 1 and maximum 10 but on testing i can still
    enter values above 10.

    The character limit shows the number of digits/characters you can add in that field, So essentially it does not cap at 10 and you can enter upto 99.

    What you can do is use conditions to prevent further entry in other fields and show an error message if the value entered is greater than 10.

    You can use Show/Hide conditions to hide all fields below the masked short text field and use a paragraph field to show the error message: https://www.jotform.com/help/196-hide-or-show-multiple-fields-at-once/

    Do try that and let us know.
