is it possible to do data validation for telephone nr's in an input form? We want to validate the number of characters in the input screen.

Hi, this type of validation is not built-in to Forms, but you can apply your own custom validation on the backend using our Forms API cred_form_validate:

Front-end validation isn't customizable, as there is no JavaScript API for Forms.
