Number value field type in Questionnaire Template

We are in the process of creating a questionnaire assessment for the quarterly review of application assets. While we have designed the template, we are encountering challenges in creating a question as a number type. Currently, in OpenPages, we have the following question types available: short text, long text, single choice, multiple choice, and table type. However, there is no option for a number type.



Could you please advise on how to create a question type that only accepts number values?

    The same issue we have with decimal numbers when we ask about timeframe and the only option is to provide a bunch of single choice answers (but you can imagine, there can be thousands of values) plus the Other option, but we can not restrict from adding any text into the free text box until the workflow with calculation validates the value of free text. Voting for this idea.

    Unfortunately there is currently no way to build a rule that would only accept numbers

    Currently the only way to capture such a value is to have a string field (which will not enforce the rule for number only).

    Any sopecific use case? how many of these fields were you looking to have?
