#3725 - Mask Not Working On Field

Closed Bug? created by JaniceLoo 6 years ago

I'm trying to configure a mask for the Office Phone field and have followed the steps in the following pdf: http://static.synolia.com/sugarmodules/SynoFieldMask/SYNOLIA_SugarCRM_Module_FieldMask_Sugar7_EN_V1.2.pdf

however, after doing a Quick Repair and Rebuild, my field still does not reflect the mask to be implemented. I'm not sure what step I'm missing.

Thanks for any assistance in advance!

    Hello,

    Have you followed all the steps on the installation from the documentation? Especially the ones about : o Click on “Rebuild JS Grouping Files” o Click on “Quick Repair and Rebuild” o Click on “Rebuild Sugar Logic Functions”

    As it seems that the module is not properly deployed in your case.

    Kind regards, Synolia Support

    Hmm...uninstalled and installed it again and it seemed to work this time. A quick question I guess. When implementing a mask when there is already data in the modules..the fields with data already in them will be not be reformatted to the mask format correct?

      Hello,

      Glad to hear the reinstall fixed the issue. In the case of data already present and not at the correct format, the module will try to format and validate it when saving. Here is an exemple: if you have the value 123 in your database and the field mask is XX-XX then, on edit, the module will set the value of the field as follows 12-3_ and block the save as this value does not validate the mask. This is only done in the edit view of a record and will not work with mass update or imports.

      Kind regards, Synolia Support

      Hello, Is there a way to mass update the existing data?

      Hi

      Module doesn't modify datas when you do a mass update, module works on the record view.

      On the current version the 3 special masks upper, lower and upper_first are used when you import files. Your datas are converted to the specified mask when you import a file if the field is configured.

      Kind regards
