Hello! I would really appreciate your help with limiting the number of digits subjects can type. I succeeded in limiting the maximum number of digits but not the minimum. This is how I defined the variable: zipcode = models.StringField(label="Which ZIP code do you live in?", min_length=5,max_length=5) Thanks in advance to anyone who can share their insights with me.

I would use dynamic field validation: def zipcode_error_message(player, value): if len(value) != 5: return "Your zip code must have 5 characters." More info here: https://otree.readthedocs.io/en/latest/forms.html#dynamic-form-field-validation Note that if your zipcode is truly numeric, you could do: zipcode = models.IntegerField(label="Which ZIP code do you live in?", min=10000, max=99999)

Thanks! It works perfectly! Regarding your second suggestion, that was my initial thought. But someone's ZIP code can start with 0 (such as 01584), which I found problematic to define with min and max. Thank you again.
