Sounds like you’re still using the native Glide form. As I mentioned, you’d need to use a Custom Form.

Essentially:

  • Your phone number input would be written to a User Specific Column
  • You then use the yes-code column to check the length of the input
  • And then you use that result to control the user flow. There are a few different ways to do that. Personally, I like to keep as much logic as possible in my Glide tables, so I’d do something like:
  • If-then-else column: If length is greater than X then blank, else true (where X is the max allowed length)
  • Then in my custom form, I’d have a submit button with a custom action attached. That action would have two branches:
    • If “if-then-else column” is true, then do the other actions; Add Row, etc
    • Else Show Notification “Input too long” (or whatever)

You can also have warnings that appear that before the Submit button is tapped (and there is an example of that in my custom form demo).
