Issues with digits

Gichure1 · August 1, 2011, 1:34pm

Hello,
i want my input field to only accept 5 digits and the code is

However, its working but ungortunately it is not recognizing leading zeros
as digits
i.e 00001 is not valid but yet contains 5 digits
how can make leading zeros be recognized.

haven't tested this, but try 'regex(,[0-9]{5})'

good catch, andrew.

if you are using collect 1.1.7, you can set the type to string and add
an appearance tag like so . that will bring up the number keyboard.

Hi Gichure,

I believe changing the type from "int" to "string" will allow for
leading zeros. The downside to this approach is that the on screen
keyboard will show letters rather than numbers. I recall some mentions
on this list about specifying which keyboard to use, but I don't
remember the syntax.

That regex looks fine to me, so something else might be going on. File
a bug report at https://code.google.com/p/opendatakit/issues with the
make/model of the device you are using and version of Collect you have
installed.

Attach a one or two question form that shows this problem and attach a
stack trace (see
https://code.google.com/p/opendatakit/wiki/CollectTroubleshooting) so
the core team knows exactly what the error is.
