Can you have masked input on the textbox field of the configurable list widget?

    In the configure list, i want phone number to be a field. Is that actually 2 or 3 fields (for area code, exchange, etc) or can I format the field to be (_ _ _) _ _ _-_ _ _ _?

    Hi Michelle, unfortunately it is not possible to mask a text field within a configurable list widget. What you can do is to use a input mask in a text field, as shown below:

    You can read more about input masking here:

    In order to mask the input as shown by the screencast above, I simply created a "Short Text Entry" and proceeded to add the input mask, as shown by the images below:

    Alternatively, you can add three textfields to get the values that you want within the configurable list widget, however these fields will not have their inputs masked neither will be restricted to only numbers:

    In any case, our development team will be looking further into this missing feature, and it may be implemented in the future.
