Dear Cms builder, i was wondering how to use the (Allowed Content) option when creating a field can you provide a working example ?

Ki moh3,
When you create an upload field, there's under upload settings there's a field called File extensions allowed in the input validation area.
Just put in the file name extensions that you want, separated by commas and no periods.
There's a small issue with certain file types right now, but is should be fixed shortly. (See the post about CMSB-v3.50-Released---FREE-VERSION at the top of the forum topics)
You might want to take advantage of the free 3 month trial of my CMSB Cookbook.
Hope that helps,

Dear I was referring to the text and other fields where there is an option for limiting certain chars But can't find the correct syntax
If you are using a text field in a section editor to enter the data, there's an allowed character criteria that you can set up to restrict the characters that are acceptable.
That ability does not exist for a text box.
However if you are using a front end form to enter the data you can set up many restrictions.
here's an example.

There are also many validation criteria that you can use.
Do a Google search for things like
restricting characters entered into an html form
validating html form field entry
What exactly is it you want to accomplish?
Hope that helps,

Hi moh,
When editing a text field, under Input Validation, the Allowed Content dropdown can be set to either "Only allow characters:" or "Disallow characters:". Below that is a text field to enter the characters you wish to allow/disallow. For example, if we set the dropdown to "Only allow characters" and enter "abcd" in the text box below (no spaces or commas), that field will only be able to be saved with combinations of those four characters. I've attached a screenshot as an example.
Let me know if you have any further questions!
Thanks,

Thanks Daniel this exactly what I was asking about,
I hope changing your business model to free cms will bring more adaptations from people from all around I working on a layout builder based on boostrap that is intergraded with the CMS that I hope I can share for better improvement one missing major point is lack of documentation of the functions aviavaila that should be available for people who would like to build advanced plugins
