To use input mask in the platform it's necessary use third party components that are not supported by outsystems, and all forge's components that set input masks don't work in Android 4.0 or superior.
Then, my idea is the platform natively offer support to input mask.

Thanks

Hello Outsystems Fan Club..

Don't get me wrong, I love the product but! 

Mask should be an integral part of Outsystems! 

Sorry but Forge is unacceptable (period) 

Giving so much attention to UI and making a mask separate component... NO.. Really NO..

All masks have problems. Please take this a part of the Outsystems. 

While at it.. Let's say I have a price of something.. I used it in 5 pages. Why should I have to specify its mask in every page!! It will be shown the same way in all pages.. 

Mask should be a property of the "Entity Attribute".. If an attribute's type is selected, say as Currency, then its should mask also be set in the same place.  

Totally agree..

Cheers

This is a "must have". There is a lot of mask in forge, but all mask seems to have problems, there is no mask that works 100% fine (https://www.outsystems.com/forums/discussion/74323/is-any-react-mask-for-decimals-that-works-with-for-decimals-and-for-group/). After a year, the "top mask in forge" are still not updated solving the issues, so, it is incomprehensible how this is not part of the platform by default

Merged this idea with 'Mask in input Fields' (created on 03 Mar 2020 03:46:34 by Eduardo Rodrigues)


Add the possibility to define masks for the text input fields, directly in the properties of the mask input field, like we can define the max size.

Several systems need masks in the numeric fields, to facilitate the readability of the user.

It would be very useful for the platform to already offer this mask option natively, especially when a customer asks for a very specific mask.

And, when some mask works fine, an update of Platform server break the mask... This is a mush have, really.

Merged this idea with 'Custom Mask addition' (created on 15 Mar 2022 10:41:52 by chris Jeans)

We've had an issue with using a Custom Mask on outsystems for numeric input fields. This is causing us an issue in our application as we need the fields to be "Number", but we also want to add a mask to them. This is built in functionality to the text input field, it works perfectly, but when you change the input type to number, it fails to work properly.
