One trick could be, defining the column type as “Phone” will give you what you want. But in the settings, make it non-diable and non-text_messaging. To my knowledge, you can’t limit keyboard characters for a column.

I think it already is a different keyboard if the column is a Number type. But iOS doesn’t completely eliminate some of the options.

@praveen - any update to the number vs ‘regular’ (alphabet & numbers) keyboard if column changes types?

In my app, I need entries for ‘current mileage’ (#1) and when the ‘next oil change’ (#2) is to be done. At the end of the app, I’ve got a virtual column that does the math for when the next oil change is due based on current mileage (#2-#1) and that number is formatted into an email that gets sent to track oil changes. If the column is changed to a ‘phone’ type, then the math breaks, b/c the virtual column doesn’t recognize the ‘phone number’ entered in #1 & #2 as just numbers.

Thoughts anyone??

@Yilmaz_Kandis1 Selam kardeşim

Tam olarak ne istediğimi anlatabildim zannedersem! Bir çözüm yok gibi İphone da. Ne dersin? Senin bahsettiğin çözüm şu an için en mantıklısı sanki! Translate

@Etwo_Cargo Selam, Praveen’in dediği gibi aslında “Number” yapınca sadece rakam klavyesi görmen gerekli ama iOS bazen sorun yapabiliyor.

Appsheet çok özel ve güzel bir platform ve neyseki bir işi yapmanın farklı yolları mevcut. Kolay gelsin. Translate

@praveen Dear Praveen thanks for your support. Actually I have cell which type is barcode. User can put this numbers as manually by that numeric key pad also.

So solution cannot be use as phone type which mr Yılmaz mentioned. Am I right?

Think that a cell is scan able by barcode type, it must be number and user must it put manually as well. Is it possible?

@Etwo_Cargo you should be able to do a number type, and mark it as scanable…

@Grant_Stead Dear Grant, I tested but it is not working. I cannot scan any bar code by phone cam if i change the type from text to number. Also, it is not possible to scan if i change type from text to phone

(non-diable, non-text). Do you have another solution?

Here is the what looks like after change the type from text to number (scan able-true ).

@Yilmaz_Kandis1 Merhaba kardeşim, Fromatı number yada phone yapınca (senin dediğin gibi aranamayacak, tex edilemeyecek şekilde ayarladıktan sonra) bar code çalışmıyor. Benim istediğim adam bar code ile numarayı okutsun ama aynı zamanda ister ise manuel olarak girebilsin. Manuel gireceğinden klavye numerik olarak görünsün sadece zira gireceği 11 hanelik bir rakkam. 11 haney normal klavye ile girmek işkence. Hele günde bu 11 haneli numarayı 300-500 defa girecek isen (her bir numara unique bu arada). Translate
