Hi,

I have a requirement, system should perform the following validations for particular ID.

should be numeric, the user should not be able to enter text, should be 9 digits and should follow the following format: xxx-xx-xxxx. The dash should be automatically written by the system. There will be no access for special characters. So, please suggest me best solution to achieve.

You can use an edit validate rule. You can also create a DT/Activity where first you can check the validation of the user input against alphabets and special characters, then after the validation passes you can substring the input into 3 params and concatenate those with ‘-’ in between.

Hi @Praveenn881,

we achieve this by creating edit input rule in that rule add the below code.

if (theValue.length() > 3 && theValue.charAt(3)!=‘-’)

{ StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(theValue);

theValue=sb.insert(3, ‘-’).toString();

}
