Max length for an Int field not working?

Hi Mitch,

The Max Length works only for string data type. For others it is ignored, hence you are able to input more numbers.

Ref: https://old.wiki/index.php/Creating_a_Custom_Table (Search for Max Length in this and you will get more info)

Wait why is this a thing? and how should I come up with a solution for this?

I think its a bug in SN. If you have HI account, post a request there and they should help you.

Regarding the fix, you can use client script.

Write a onchange client script on your Bridge meeting field like below

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
   if (isLoading || newValue === '') {
      return;
   }
	if(newValue.length>1) {
		g_form.showErrorBox("u_bridge_meeting","You cannot enter more than 1 digit",true);
	}
}

This will not work, you have to convert it to a string to check the length.
