Welcome to the community @Jason_Fisher! It looks like the links below express your sentiments, perhaps you’ll find something useful in one of them. > [@Phone number validation](https://community.glideapps.com/t/phone-number-validation/3064/): > > I have a form with a phone number text input field. It seems to allow users to type anything in, i.e. they can submit if they type “a” into the phone number field in the add form. Is it possible to require a valid 10 digit number and show the number pad instead of alphabetical keyboard? > [@Data entry mask on phone or email component?](https://community.glideapps.com/t/data-entry-mask-on-phone-or-email-component/6746/): > > I just want to make sure that I am not missing anything. The use of the Phone or Email component (and/or corresponding properties on the data grid) have no influence over the way the data entered is “masked”, correct? I was kind of hoping that a Phone component would enforce something like: (###) ###-#### Similarly, an Email component would enforce something like: ###@###.### Thoughts?
