Field validation with external data source

    Hi,

    I'm looking to build a form with rather advanced field validation.

    To explain simply, there would be a field in which the user enters a code that needs to be validated based on an external data source.

    The form should only be submitable if the code entered in this field is contained in this external DB table. (Note that this table is constantly updated with new codes and the user should not be able to see its content. )

    According to my current understanding, this is not possible with JotForm. Is there any other way to achieve this? (Something with an API call or Webhooks triggered when entering the code in a field maybe?)

    Thank you in advance for your help.

    Best regards
