Input Masking: Avoid using spaces.

    Asked on June 18, 2021 at 6:09 PM

    Good afternoon, I'm trying to mask the type of characters allowed in a field without requiring all the characters be filled. For example, I want new employees to be able to enter their last names but not enter any spaces or numbers. If I turn the mask on and set it to @@@@@@@@@@@@@@ to make sure there's enough space for their entire last name, then they're required to fill in ALL of those space, and that's not what I want. I don't want to force them to put more characters in than they need, but I don't want them to be able to add spaces in the field. Is there anything I can do for this? Thank you!

    Thank you for reaching support,

    Unfortunately, that is not possible as the number of characters indicated on the input mask signifies the number of characters is required on the field.

    Now, I will make a feature request for this but could not guarantee an eta of when this will be developed or implemented.

    If there are any updates, our developers will be responding to this support ticket.

    Best.
