I have set up a form for our parents to complete, the field asks for the students passport number but it will only them allow to fill out a certain amount of numbers. How can I rectify this?

I am a developer for Cognito Forms. This is a feature that we are looking to add in a later release. Until that release we do not have a way to limit the length of a number field or a text field. You can follow the progress of this feature on our Idea Board.

When using a phone field set to the US, your phone number will look like a line of numbers until you click out of the field.
Then field will then auto verify that all characters are numbers and that 10 characters have been added.
If you have fewer then 10 characters or have a non-numeric character you will receive an error message. This will only happen when the field is set to "US".
For phone fields set to international we do not have validation. This is because of the wide variation between phone numbers in difference countries. We are considering ways to incorporate validation for this, like using Google's phone number library.

The number field is not always the best for this kind of data, as there is a limit to the size or number that can be added. We suggest that you use a Text field with the format validation set to 'Numeric'. You can learn more about this in our Help Content.
