    Hi Faith,

    You can set the value using the Javascript.

    Xrm.Page.getAttribute("areacode").setValue(00961);

    Hope this helps.

    Hi,

    You could validate the area code using the code below using regular expression.

    var areaCode = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("areacode").getValue();
var regularExpression = /[0-9]{0,5}/;
if (!areaCode.match(regularExpression )) {
        {
            Xrm.Page.getAttribute("areacode").setValue();
            alert("Maximum of 5 characters is required");
        } 
}

    Hope this helps.
