Add Validation to custom fields
We would like to see the ability to add validation/rules to custom fields. This would validate a user input as sufficient/usable.
ex: in a custom "Unit Number" field, a unit number that is less than 3 characters is insufficient -- invalid, and should notify the user that a greater number is required for this field.
I know that if we request this in a form, we can add a description for the question, specifying the required amount of characters. However, that does not stop the user from entering whatever they want in the field.
We want this validation to apply to forms and a task in the table view alike.
Thanks!
it would also be great if a custom field could be required, not in a request form, but in the task itself
And Clarie, in your case, even though this won't prevent users to input wrong values, you could use conditional formatting so the cells would turn red in case the number is incorrect:
@..., thanks for your feedback. Unfortunately, this option would not work for us. Each vehicle has it's own specific unit number, which is used as a unique identifier. We need to know this number in order to link it to the build details.
@... thank you for the idea. This seems like a good work-around until a permanent solution is developed.
