Hi everyone,

I need to "force" the users to choose input options from drop-down calendars or lists. How can I do that? I know there is a validation tag in the field property set-up dialog where I can do some settings in the "require" section, but that is not exactly what I want.. I just wonder if there is a way for me to disable the free text input by the users.

Please advice. Thank you!

Hi

while I can understand your question for a list, I do not undestand it for a date field.

From the calendar the user could in fact chose wichever date, so restricting user's input isn't clear.

I just wonder if there is a way for me to disable the free text input by the users.

Yes: pop-up menus, radio buttons, or some other interface device like portal pickers.

Don't assume, however, they they are easy to build, maintain or are necessarily easy or fast to use. IOW there had better be a valid reason to impose such restrictions on the user.

What's wrong with field level validation?

Hi, yeah, I guess I don't want users to input dates that are not in the standard format. :)

Thank you! The field validation works :)
