How to restrict word limit in google form?

While designing Google Form we may need to restrict user to answer question under specified character or words limit. Though Microsoft form does not have this functionality as of now. From my personal experience, Google Forms are much better than MS Forms. If you want to collect input in your organization use MS Form. But if you want to collect inputs from external users, my suggestion would be for Google Form. To set character or word limit for your question(specially for short answer type) in Google Form ,we will use regex (regular expression).

It is working perfectly except it is not patching person data when I removed person from people picker field. Then I came to point that one more thing is missed from Microsoft. After reading lots of posts (including microsoft community) I felt like to write complete step by step solution for this issue (or you may say bug). This is known issue.  Even if your Formula-level prefetching setting is enabled in power Apps settings, this issue will still come.
