Hi,
How do we validate Email (short answer) mandatory question is in correct format using validation rule? Certain responders enter incorrectly.. Eg spaces... con.. Etc
You can add a Text - Email response validation for the short answer question in your form. This will ensure that the email address entered by the user is in the correct format. Please note that this will not check if it is a valid email address.
Login to Neartail > click on the form to open it > Edit page will be displayed> In the Edit page, click on the email question to select it > click on the gear icon for this question > Question settings page will be displayed > click Answer > click Configure link for the Validation option > select Text, Email validation > enter a custom error message (optional) and click Save.
Hi vipin... just for e. g... if email address is abc@domain.com... i tried putting multiple combinations
1).abc@domain.com
2)a..bc@domain.com
3) abc@@domain.com
4) abc@domain.con
all these were accepted.

The error message will be displayed if you have entered any of the above emails as the answer for the short answer question with Text - Email response validation. Please note that the validations are performed when the user clicks on the Next or Submit button.
All of the below examples are valid email format. You can test this in Google Forms as well. Please note that the email response validation will not check if it is a valid email address.
abc@domain.com
a.bc@domain.com
abc@@domain.com
abc@domain.con
For example, if you enter abc@domain and click Next, it will show the error message. See screenshot below.
