Future Development

This question type has a lot of room for future development including the following:

• The ability to provide an example phrase in the text box
• The ability to restrict acceptable answers through use of regular expressions
• The ability to notify respondents in real-time (as they type) about the validity of their response

Additionally, this question type and the Text Area Question type may be combined in the future. If that were to happen, likely the default text field size of the combined question type would be similar to the Open-Ended Question.
