I want to apply validations to email . AS i Can see field type=email in sys_glide_object table but not able to selct from reference in table when creating field 'Email Address'.

This is a system limitation. Field validations only work within a form view. The best solution to working around this problem is to create a new 'List edit' ACL for your 'Email' field on your 'Persons' table to disable the list editing.

Please mark my response above correct if I've answered your question. Thanks!

I can't seem to update the VISIBLE field, even though i updated the ACL as you showed. ???

i ended up just doing an insert and stay on existing email type field to get going, but sure would like to know why i couldn't just do that edit once i updated the acl as you mentioned.

I make email field by activating admin overrides in write ACL for sys_glide_object visible. But its only working on form view not on list view . It is not restricting at list view.

I'm not sure what you mean by "It is not restricting". Is the 'Email' option available? If so, it should be available anywhere you choose to edit the dictionary type.

This is the field type For my Email Address.
