Google Forms Regex Response Validation

Viewed 31

Feeling a bit silly to post but can't get a handle on this.

I am attempting to use a simple regex expression to match to users who append 3 or more of the letter 'a' in their response fields.

So instead of their last name 'Taylor' the user would write 'aaaTaylor' or maybe 'aaaaTaylor'.

the expression i am attempting to use is:

[a]{3,}

In order to match to those who type 3 or more a's onto the front of their names.

When i add this to the form, it catches any string i enter into the field during testing.

What am I missing here, in testing this expression online at regex101 it appears to work the way that i need it to, but when placed into the form field, its matching anything/everything.

Thanks for the help.
