Hello!

My name is Andreea and I have a questions about completing the forms with certain mandatory characters. So, can I make the use of uppercase/startcase/lowercase words mandatory in the forms?

Thanks! 😃

Not sure, but you can convert their form submission to all Uppercase and use that column for whatever you need.

Do you want to validate the form input? You can use regex in the “check text matches” column. If it’s more complex, you can use the JavaScript column and ChatGPT’s help to create the code. Then, you should conditionally control your submit button if your mandatory requirements are not met.

> I want to share about the additional capabilities that we can achieve with Glide’s native form. What I have tested with the help of CSS is that native forms can also be applied for validation. Create your validation in the table columns and present it through messages via the “hint” component. Add the visibility conditional and the class “prevent-submit” to these hint components. Add the following CSS code: /\*Container Form\*/ #page-root:has(.prevent-submi…

Thanks! I watched the video and I read the info, but I am a beginner. I think the CSS and hint component are a good idea for the forms but I don’t understand how to put a visibility condition for the uppercase/lowercase words because the names are varied.

You can place it in a table column, as long as it ~~is a boolean true/false or empty/not empty that~~ will control the appearance of the hint component.

Sorry! But I don’t understand how to corelate the hint component in the boolean column and how to connect it.

Hopefully, you understand this image rather than the explanation in words.

@Himaladin now the table with check text matches is unresponsive. It is because of that column with check text? Or is it because of the large data I’ve inserted? What can I do?

I’ve deleted the column and after that it worked to go down the last added info. And after I inserted the column with check text back the table was again unresponsive.

No. This checkbox has no effect on unresponsiveness

What table do you mean? or the form you mean?
