Set minimum length for a text field on form?

Is there a way to natively set the minimum character limit for a text or number field in a form? I want to set a field to exactly 12 characters and have an error message appear if a lead enters anything less than 12 characters. If not, is there a javascript that anyone has used to accomplish this?

Thanks in advance!

If you move the Q to Products​ I'll answer there (should be a Move button at the right).

If you set the field to Text and use the Mask Input option (at the lower right in Form Editor), you can set the the pattern to

     ************

which is exactly 12 alphanumeric characters.

Since I am looking for a minimum and maximum of 12 numeric values, I used 999999999999 (12). When I test a live form, I am still able to submit the form with less than 12 numbers.

Post a link to that form.
