    There is no sample input mask if we want to use 'Special symbols' such as the @ symbol as part of a value. For example, at our university, student IDs begin with an @ symbol followed by 9 numbers. Is there an input mask for using special symbols?

    Hi CER Operations,

    Thanks for getting back to us. I'm afraid the input mask doesn't support special characters. What you can use is the Masked Input widget. The Masked Input widget will allow you to add a prefix before the inputted value, in this case, you can add the '@' sign and it will be shown before the numbers.
