is it possible to put a regex code into the allow characters field.

Or is there another way to validate text field data. For example if i have a field called email, can i validate that its a valid email?

Yes, I'm referring to creating a record in the admin. I'm looking for a way to a validation to a text field. Not just for email, but also things like phone numbers, credit card numbers, Currency Validation.

Hi,

Currently, there isn't a way to easily check for these things in CMS Builder. However, this could be accomplished through a plugin.

If you are familiar with building plugins, you can use the record_save_errorchecking hook. In this plugin you could then check any field for any type of validation you want and then output any errors you find.

If you'd like us to look into creating this for you, please email consulting@interactivetools.com and we can go over some options.

Hope this helps
