Limit text input value

Unknown

Hi,

I currently have a sub dialog button that will display a form and allow the user to choose from the form. After selecting a row, a certain value of the row will be assigned to a text field. However, the user can still input random values in the text field. How can I limit the user to input values only found in the selection. The selection is from a simple database.

Regards,
Ezra

Hi,

To avoid entering external values to the text field when a certain value of the row is assigned to it, we can make the text field disabled by unchecking the initially enabled form component.
Attached is the screenshot for reference.

Thanks,

Hi Athuluru,

User still wants to input some values on it but needs to have error if the user input is not accepted in a criteria.

Hi Ezra,

We can run the validation rule or Active form flow which checks if the value entered is in the list.
We can also use a drop-down box instead of a text field to check if the user selects the value only from the selected list.
