Hello Community,

 

it is a simple question really for which I was not able to find a solution.

Is there any simple way to prevent the user typing the "-character into a custom text field?

I could not find any option which excludes this sign in a text field.

Many thanks for your support. 

Kind Regards,

Karol

Hi @Karol Sebastian Malinowski 

Text fields are programmed to accept alphanumeric characters as well as special characters. You could perhaps add some Regex workflow validators which would only allow the task to transition through the workflow if they meet your regular expression (and you could set this to something like [A-Za-z0-9] to only accept letters and numbers)
