Specific required options on an inline eNotify form

We recently created a new field in a Website sign-up form so that people can tell us:

"Is phone number above a landline (l) or cell (c)?"

 

The only two answers we want to allow are "l" and "c".  But all I can see is that we can make the field required or not.  Today, someone put "United States" in that field and it took (probably a pre-filling macro).

Is there a way to have the field limited to certain answers?  Or, second to that, a length so at least they're forced to re-read the questions?  Thanks!

Hi @MiloS0. At this time, fillable fields for an inline form do not have a character limit and there aren't options for them to choose from. While you can't control a pre-filled macro, I would add text to the question to say "Type L or C below". You can also make a field required at the bottom to have them type Yes to verify that their information is correct.

The header already tells them exactly what two letters to choose between.  And for the rare person who is really going to go back and re-read everything because we basically say, "Are you sure?", I don't think it's a valuable addition.  That's a pity that there's no way to do validation, and I hope it's a development CC will consider (is there a suggestion box somewhere?).  For now, we'll live with it.  Thanks for the ideas.
