Hey, really appreciate the feedback! - Agree that it may not be quicker than filling in a form depending on the use case. To me the potential benefits are more about responding via email or text, avoiding churn from long and complicated forms, etc. - The 4XL case is really interesting. There is actually backend validation happening on this form that forces the T-shirt size to be one of XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL... but to your point that's not visible to users. Maybe there's a way to make that more visible, or maybe that's just a bad use case for Semiform. Need to think more about this in general.

Off the top of my head, one way the validation could possibly work is for the tool to auto-respond via email with how it's categorised the data and give the option to confirm or correct it. ("Thanks for responding! Just to confirm, here's what I've recorded:..."). If the user marks it as correct it could have a verified tick or something on the admin side, and then form creators would only have to manually check over the ones without a tick (with the option to see the original text of the user's response and a form to correct the data) Obviously it would also be useful for the form creator to author the question so that the possible options are given when they're non-obvious, but users don't always read :)
