Change the default validation for the Emailaddress

Hi,

we want to use a custom validation for the Mailaddress field overwriting the default validation. We are using a Javascript with a regularexpression Onchange which allows the following mailadress:

xyz-@test.de (^[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+\/=?^_`{|}~-]+(?:\.[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+\/=?^_`{|}~-]+)*@(?:[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?\.)+[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?$)

Because of the Mailformat-Setting for the field, everytime we enter the address, we get the default error.

We don't want to create a new field (without Mailformat) but want to use the old field.

Many thanks

Hello,

I would say go with PCF control that will do modified validation for you.

RE: Change the default validation for the Emailaddress

Thank you very much for your suggestion. Together with a partner we found out, that it might be a problem with the new UI. If we start Dynamics with the classic UI via ?forceclassic we can enter the xyz-@test.de mailaddress without an error, Maybe it is a bug with the new UI.

RE: Change the default validation for the Emailaddress

There's no supported way to change this for the out of box email fields, as the Display Format (which determines the validation logic) is not editable.

I think your only supported option is to create a new field. You could use a simple workflow or business rule to copy the value from the new field to the out of box field automatically
