Is it possible?: Minimum Characters Restriction on Fields

Question

I see where I can set a maximum number of characters restriction on a field. Is it possible to set a minimum restriction?

Yes, but not there.

You can enable Custom Data Rules in the Advanced Properties of the table and enter a formula like this one

IF(
Length([My Text field])> 0
and
Length([My Text field]) < 5,
"You must enter at least 5 characters in the XYZ field")

this formula would permit blank.
