Question

The text box only support type = "text/number/hidden", phone and email is using type=text.

Is it possible to change the type to tel or email so it will trigger the corresponding keyboard on mobile phones?

Does OutSystems NOW support these types?

Version 9.1.605.0

Thanks,

Stanley

Hi Stanley,

If you manually assign a 'type' attribute and set the value to tel or email in the extended properties of the input, it should override the text type and bring up the proper keyboard, if I am remembering correctly.

Let me know if it works,

Justin
