Is there a way to set an expected input value range on the form item? e.g. A user should input an angle that is between 0 and 90 degrees. Values outside of this range would be rejected when submit is chosen similar to a non-value in a required field.

Sorry - this is not available within a form node.  
You can do this using the normal numeric picker.  
You can use a join node set to manual create key value object to wait for several widgets and to create a single msg like a form if you like.

Thanks dceejay. That's helpful. I'll investigate the join node and see what I can come up with.

Has this been put up as a suggested improvement as would have thought basic expectation for a form along with the ability set a default value. Simple addition to handle all data types would be the ability to give a regex expression for validations

It has been suggested above... Just waiting for someone to write the code and submit the pull request.

Thx for your reply. I found out I need more complicated inputs in the form then the standard (dropdown menu etc.) so I choose to use UI\_template node.

But I can't get the form working in there ... I started an issue: [Trying to create Angular Form inside UI template](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/trying-to-create-angular-form-inside-ui-template/57717)
