    Hi Albert,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. You can set validation to require the input value to match a certain format. It can limit alphabets only but not both alphabets and dashes. Let me show you how:

    1. In Form Builder, click on Add Form Element.Limit a field to accept only alphabets and dashes Image 1 Screenshot 50
    2. Drag-and-drop Short Text field to the form.Limit a field to accept only alphabets and dashes Image 2 Screenshot 61
    3. Click on Gear icon for Short Text field.Limit a field to accept only alphabets and dashes Image 3 Screenshot 72
    4. Go to Options.
    5. Choose Alphabetic for Validation.Limit a field to accept only alphabets and dashes Image 4 Screenshot 83
