Could you please provide more information on which field you wish to apply the mask? Also, please share the URL of the form that you are working on.

Im trying to make a field with a mask where entry must be like this...
Examples:
12AB12345678
19CD8765
First 2 chars - numbers
3rd and 4th chars - alphabets
Then all the next characters are numbers but the LENGTH is different from one another. Some has 4 digits some has more. Example given above are showing what i meant.
I have no form url to share coz I didnt complete my form yet.
Thanks!

Input mask is used when a specific format is required. Unfortunately, it is not possible to have a variable length of the numbers.
You may consider to use our Masked Input widget, which may give you more flexibility. You can find here:

Let us know if you need any further assistance.

Can you please try to use the format below in the Input Mask field?
##@@[#][#][#][#][#][#][#][#][#][#]
Please give it a try and let us know how it works for you.
We will wait for your response.

I used the following for a phone number field and it worked:
###-###-#### [***. ][*][*][*][*][*][*]
And I put this in the placeholder on the advanced tab of the field:
Ex: 304-123-1234 Ext. 12 (enter numbers and letters only - Extensions are optional)
