Custom alert msg

[kiki1986]

Hi, I want to make javascript arbitrary mask with custom alert message.

This is  what i tried as "Custom format script"

var v = event.value;
x = util.printx("999", v);

if(event.value != x){
app.alert("test");}

It only gives me alert if there is more then 3 digits if it's less digits then nothing.

I want to input 3 digits no more and no less and if it's not 3 digits exactly I want alert with custom msg.

Use this:

if (event.value && event.value.length!=3) app.alert("test");

I have another issue now, i have another alert in calculation script, while i was using arbitrary mask i only got alert for mask now when value was wrong now I'm getting both alert pop up.

What are conditions for second alert?

Try using 'else if' for second alert.

A calculation script will execute each time any field in the file is edited. If you only want it to show the alert when that specific field is edited use the code as the validation script, instead.

I tried adding to validate but problem was both scripts was in same field and was getting two alerts, but with arbitrary mask for some reason that wasn't the case, so I put both alerts in same calculation and used else if as Nesa suggested, it's working for now.
