Hi, there are some old threads but wanted to check maybe I missed an update somewhere. There are components that are specifically for email (Email Entry) yet they allow users to enter anything without validating the format. Is there a way to validate email addresses to prevent typos? I have users entering email addresses often in a rush and sometimes with additional characters or missing something. Thank you
Where are you using the Email entry component?
If it’s used within a native form (Show Form Screen, Form Container), it does do basic validation.
If you’re using it outside the context of a native form, then you’d need to capture the input in a User Specific column and apply your own validation. Probably the easiest way to do this is with a JavaScript column.
Just out of curiosity, what is your use case for having users enter an email address? For many (most) use cases, you should be able to automatically capture an email address.
I don’t capture users’ email addresses, but users (sales people) need to provide email address of a lead or a customer. In this particular case, it is not used within a standard form. But I would have assumed the type of field presupposes validation.
