      One question will ask for the email address and add validation as email.

      1. Create question
      2. Make the question a required field
      3. Add validation
      4. Click the down arrow on Minimum length

      Email address

    The second question will be a validation custom type. To get the custom validation you will need to pipe the information from the email question (first question you setup). Copy the piping information into the confirm email address question. (second question you setup)

    1. Create the second question: Please confirm the email address
      • Make it required
    2. Go back to question asking for the email address (first question you setup)
    3. Check the box and click Piped text tab
    4. Pick Survey Question 
    5. Find the Question that is asking for an email
    6. Click Email address
    7. Copy the piping information - It should look like this ${q://QID18/ChoiceTextEntryValue
