Mask Field

Ability set mask input for any existing varchar field (Phone & Varchar) in addition to the new fields in EspoCRM. is available in Ebla Mask Field.

Overview

The Ebla Mask Field extension for EspoCRM allows administrators to define input masks for Varchar fields. This ensures data consistency by enforcing specific formats (e.g., phone numbers, postal codes, license plates) during data entry.

Features

  • Input Masking: Define custom masks for any Varchar field.
  • Data Validation: Prevents saving the record if the input does not match the required mask format.
  • Storage Control: Choose whether to save the value with the mask characters (e.g., (123) 456-7890) or just the raw data (e.g., 1234567890).
  • Display Formatting: Automatically formats values in Detail and List views according to the configured mask.
