How can I not allow "Blank Space" to be used to fill up a required field

[Marketing_Department]

Hi there,

I made a text entry as a required field in my app. Unfortunately, some users are using blank space to fill it up. May I ask for suggestions on how I can restrict blank space as an acceptable input?

Thank you.

Unfortunately, it looks like you would have to move to a custom form, trim your input fields and validate them there.

Hi @ThinhDinh may I ask how I can go about that? My current set up is I have a drop down list which is the “Supplier Name” if in the event that the supplier is not included in the drop down, they will be required to input a Name. Hence the issue with the blank space.

I did this set up because once they enter a new supplier in the text entry, the next time around it will automatically be incuded in the drop down list.

How do I create a custom form?

I’m just dropping this here so I have something to refer people to when they ask. This is a simple concept app (copyable), that demonstrates the following techniques: Building custom forms for adding and editing list items (as an alternative to the native forms provided by Glide) Preventing duplicate new entries using User Specific Columns and Relations Enforcing mandatory input items The use of visibility conditions and user specific booleans to control user flow There is nothing particular…
