Unfortunately, In Microsoft Forms, Only Numbers are available as a restriction, and there is NO restriction option for a Custom Regular Expression in Microsoft Forms

Alternatives to validate Custom Regular Expression in Microsoft Forms

Instead, you have to use Microsoft Dynamic Customer Voice which is the new name of Microsoft Forms Pro and has many features over the free Microsoft Forms.

In the Microsoft Dynamic Customer Voice survey, you will be able to add Custom Regular Expression as the following:

2. Add a new Text question.
3. Click on the three dots "...", then select Restrictions.
