Numeric keypad

[RosarioBallve]

Hello!
I need to use the numeric keypad to enter values ​​such as 15-25-411, with the number format it is not possible to save because it is invalid. With the text format I can save it but I have the alphanumeric keyboard, any possibility?
thanks!!!

Unfortunately you won’t be able to combine elements like this.

You can, however, create three separate fields to hold each group, and turn on Auto-advance forms so when someone hit’s the enter button on the keyboard it jumps to the next field.

Then create your final output by concatenating them together with the dashes:

concatenate([Group1], “-”, [Group2], “-”, [Group3])

You can find the auto-advance toggle under UX>Options>Forms

This way your users can still use the number keypad, but move through the data entry rapidly.

@RosarioBallve Is the format always the same? like xx-xx-xxx?

I can see the Aleksi magic forming.

Users are much more comfortable using the numeric keypad to enter a lot of data (quickly and agilely), which are variable, do not always have the same format.
Actually, I need a separation ("-" or “/”) to differentiate several results from the same variable.
Thank you very much and greetings from Buenos Aires Argentina!

@RosarioBallve But is the syntax always the same… I mean is it always like 7 digits and the rythm is always 2-2-3? Not like 2-2-2 or 1-2-3 etc.

[RosarioBallve]

No, it is not always the same format

If there are no rules behind of the syntax, then you can’t format it automatically.
