Hi All,
I need to implement following scenario for a text-field which is connected with a text column (char[11]).
Input layout should be XXXXXX XXXXX, i.e. a blank after 6 characters, but only in the field format, does not get stored in the data field. Allowed characters are A-Z and 0-9 only. If we could manage capital letters only, then it would be better.
Could we handle this using format property? If yes, how is it?
Or is there another way to handle it in servoy?
Please have a look on attached screen-shot. I have no-idea and I couldn’t find any resource that explaining the attached popup.

why not something like this? so with A (only alpha numeric)
and raw value (so you only store the actual 11 chars)
and then with a ui converter that just does this:
/**
* Called for performing a conversion between a displayed value and a database value.
*
* @param {String} displayedValue The displayed value.
* @param {String} dbType The type of the database column. Can be one of "TEXT", "INTEGER", "NUMBER", "DATETIME" or "MEDIA".
*
* @returns {Object} the database value.
*
* @properties={typeid:24,uuid:"56EE5E8A-F886-4A92-B6EE-383DE9250E4F"}
*/
function globalConverterObj2DB(displayedValue, dbType) {
return displayedValue.toUpperCase();
}
