When you add formatting to your text—like creating a link, bolding text, or changing the font color—HTML tags are added, which count toward any character limits.
Survey creators can choose to validate open-ended fields, so people taking the survey may run into length or formatting limits. Survey creators can also require people to submit answers within a specific range.
If an error message on a question is preventing you from completing the survey, contact the person who sent you the survey.
