I have a form that will require users to input numbers on their forms but the beginning of each number will always be the same. Is there a way to set a default for where users just add the numbers and not the other characters?

 

each of these Text-Short fields would start with a code -  CM, RD and CC respectively. The users would just responsible for inputting the numbers after that.

You can also use ‘text mask’ in the input validation :

 

 

In the forms, this will display : 

And let my type just 3 numbers

Hi @Iramos85,

 

In each of the controls you can set a default value in its configuration. So just set CM for the first one and so on.

Either that or let the users put their numbers in and then add the prefix via the workflow.
