Hi @Vichitra Gupta ,

Unfortunately, we are limited to the below datatypes :

Metric data types have functions that depend on the method that you select.

Assessment data types

Data type	Compatible methods	Description
Attachment	Assessment	On questionnaires, users attach one or more files to a question.
Checkbox	Assessment	On questionnaires, users select a check box next to a statement or leave it cleared. Check box Set the Scale definition field to High if a selected check box equates to a good score.
Choice	Assessment	On questionnaires, users select a value from a list of custom answer options. Create a metric definition for each answer option. Choice
Date	Assessment	On questionnaires, users select a date. Date
Date/Time	Assessment	On questionnaires, users select a date and time. Date/Time
Duration	Script	When the script runs, the system populates the Duration value and Scaled value fields on the Metric Result form with the appropriate values from the actual_result and scaled_result variables in the metric script.
Likert Scale	Assessment	On questionnaires, users select a value from a custom scale of answer options. Create a metric definition for each answer option, which is represented by a radio button on the scale. A Likert scale metric that evaluates an application's ease of use might have the metric definitions Easy, Average, and Difficult. If you want to reuse a series of answer options for multiple metrics, create a metric template and use the Template data type instead of the Likert Scale data type. Likert Scale
Number	Assessment, Script	Assessment: On questionnaires, users enter a number. Number Script: When the script runs, the system populates the Actual value and Scaled value fields on the Metric Result form with the appropriate values from the actual_result and scaled_result variables in the metric script.
Percentage	Assessment, Script	Assessment On questionnaires, users enter a number. Percentage Script When the script runs, the system populates the Actual value and Scaled value fields on the Metric Result form with the appropriate values from the actual_result and scaled_result variables in the metric script.
String	Assessment	On questionnaires, users enter text. The size of the string field depends on the String option you select: String String single line wide data type Additional comments
Template	Assessment	On questionnaires, users select a value from a predefined series of answer options. There must be at least one template defined to use this data type. For a template, there is a template definition for each answer option, which is represented by a radio button.
Yes/No	Assessment	On questionnaires, users select Yes or No from a list. Yes/No Set the Scale definition field to High if selecting Yes equates to a better score.

I have a requirement to apply URL validation on the risk questionaire. I am trying it through field validation field on the asmt_metric table by selecting URL as a value. It is not working. Please suggest

earlier I was trying to do it by adding a choice value as URL in datatype, but since it is not supported, now trying to take a string value and selecting field validation field value as URL. But it is not working on the assessments.
