Input box length and Char limit

[Kish-3564]

Hi,

Can we place a restriction to the user input box? Like can we restrict the user to enter only 4 characters and alphanumeric?

I know there are workarounds to add messages to inform users by using the visibility settings of 2 content boxes. But is there are straight forward to restrict the user?

Also can we mark red colored * symbol to indicate the field is mandatory?

Please suggest.

Thanks!

Welcome to the community!

Here is a good article on how to add data validation on a form. Specifically, look at how two Submit buttons (greySubmit and blueSubmit) are placed on the screen - one that is hidden, and enabled only when the validation criteria is met, and the other one set to the opposite criteria.

How to Add Conditional Visibility & Data Validation

You can also add additional text (e.g., red star) to indicate a field is mandatory in a Context Box. Add free form text (*) and change text color using the toolbar.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Hi @Razi
Thanks for your suggestions. I already gone through that articles and built my application.

But the question here is that "Can we restrict the user to enter after certain numbers/chars?" . For example a Employee ID field has 5 alphanumeric limit. Then, can we restrict the user to enter 6th character?
