Field validation

Hi! 

I want to avoid entering a dot in a field. 

I use nicht(enthält(".", {Self})) as validation, but it doesn’t work, it always says the massage that dot is not allowed, eventhough there’s no dot in the field.

 

“enthält” = contain

“nicht” = not

 

What I am doing wrong?

THANKS!!!
Jakob

Hi ​@putzjakob,

Looking at the help files, you have switched your parameters.
You must specify the form control first {Self} and then the “.”.

Help Files:

contains

Returns TRUE where string contains the element.

Usage

contains(string,element)
