Input mask for custom field

Hi:

I have a custom field (Single line of text) for a custom entity.

I want to format the data at input to be in the form 999-999-999.

In customizing the field I set the length to 11 and added a new input mask control using the format 000-000-000.

When I run the entity form however the only thing that occurs is the field length of 11 digits. There is no input mask format.

How can I achieve this?

Steve,

I rechecked your scenario and I believe I have a good explanation. That mask formatting seems to work on tablets and on mobiles. Option to select this mask for webclient is blocked.

Can you please confirm that you were testing this mask using webclient?

Andrii:

You are correct.

I was using the web client. How can I get it on the web client?

In the case of web client, option left is JavaScript. Input mask only works for Phone and Tablet. Thanks.

You can use addonkeypress function to format the field if the length is less than 11.

Steve,

As I mentioned already you can't make it work in webclient. Mask Control is not available for webclient at the moment.

I am getting the following error when I use the addOnKeyPress method from the website example.

Unable to get property 'addOnKeyPress' of undefined or null reference

addOnKeyPress only works for text and integer fields. Please share your code.
