1> This is why you need to use those format property dialogs: A text dataprovider (mask textfield) doesn’t have support for edit/display formats, that is only for other Date/Numbers
2> what is exactly the question here?
3> No the variable still can hold much more, only the ui input blocks it. It has nothing to do with the variable itself (in scripting you could set it to much longer values)
So the variable itself doesn’t have a limit (other then memory)
1> “that is only for other Date/Numbers” That’s why I was confused and not able to find the “edit formats”
2> How can I suppress the visible Stars (*) during the user is typing it’s content
3> Yes, this is clear for me. I was always talking about the “ui input blocks it” limited to a specific count of positions
Thank you Johan, you for help
2> you can’t, a mask expects that you follow that mask, what you can do is also set a column converter on it, that strips again the * out of it.
