Is there a way to force space in field?

Hi,

So I have a field called "striInitDocNum" defaulted to 1 as shown below:

global.DocNumAction =

{

strInitDocNum:"1"

}

The code then inserts a space before this default value:

var dlgInit =

{

"DNum": " " + this.strInitDocNum

}

However, the user may remove this space in the form if they want to set to a different value from 1 to 2, for example:

                                    to

How can I make it so if the user decides to enter a different value than the default, the space in the field is maintained such they cannot delete it? This matters b/c the preview field (not shown) ends up also having a removed space and then it shows as "Exhibit2" instead of "Exhibit 2"

Thanks.

You can't. However, you can check for the existence of the space after they have entered their value and then update the value if necessary.
