Hello,

I have a problem with setting an InputMask for a string field at a DAC class (derived from IBqlTable).

It should be very simple: Just allow any number of uppercase letters and digits.

I started with InputMask=”>”. Then the user can enter nothing at all.

InputMask=”>AAA” forces exactly three characters.

(No, IsFixed is not set to true!)

I’ve also tried regular expressions but they are taken as fixed characters.

Any ideas?

Each control character represents single character.  Read this https://help-2020r1.acumatica.com/(W(1))/Help?ScreenId=ShowWiki&pageid=d2706594-1ff1-5e7d-97e8-2388ce0daea7

So, it is behaving as designed.

And, regular expressions are not support.
