format help

Can someone please expand on the examples for number and text formatting fields? The Servoy documentation contains only limited examples.
Specifically, I would like to be able to format a USA Social Security number (e.g. 123-45-6789) and a wide seclection of phone number formats depending upon the length of the field. For example:
7 characters = 123-4567
10 characters: (123) 456-7890 etc.

I’ve just noticed that only numeric and date fields can have formats. :oops:
Are there any plans to include formats for text fields so that Phone Number type data can be formatted on output?
