Email Entry in Phone Number Entry Column

Ask for Help
1

Good morning Gliders,

I have built an application with a User Profile in which the User is able to update selected information, such as Name, Contact Number and Role. One of my Users testing the functionality has managed to identify a potential bug but hasn’t realised.

For the Contact Number column I have selected a type of ‘Phone Number’ and in the component view I have selected ‘Phone Entry’. Despite this the User has managed to add their email address in the column without issue. This could be a potential problem if Users are able to do this, as the application is for Lone Workers and these numbers are essential for emergency contact.

Is this a bug? Or is there something I can do to ensure the Contact Number columns are locked down for number entry only?

TIA

The phone entry does nothing more than control which keyboard is displayed on mobile devices. There is no such thing as a standard html entry that validates phone numbers because phone numbers vary so much and technically can contain letters as well as numbers.

If you want to lock it down, I suggest either using a number entry component, or user the Custom AI component to create an entry with a few more restrictions.
