Integer Field Length

[Kumar38]

Created a few Integer Fields, Assigned them a  Max Length of 4 . But It still accepts more than 4 . How do I fix this ?

Thanks

You can add a Business Rule to show error message if the field value >9999

Just Curious why Setting MAX length of 4 while creating Variable is not working for Field type -Integer ? Is that a Known Issue ?

This thread could be useful. You can't restrict it based on the length. You will have to add your own validations

Hi Rali,

Here's an onchange script that returns an alert and clears out the value of the field if it's not 4 digits.

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {

  if (isLoading || newValue == '') {

      return;

  }

  if (newValue.toString().length != 4) {

      alert("Please enter a 4 digit number");

      g_form.setValue('fieldname', '');

  }

}

Thanks,

Nithish
