Intercept Save and Update on Front-end to check DLP

[tecs]

We'd like to check a record for confidential info before being saved. If we find sensitive info we'll replace with ****, for example.

We need to do this on the front-end (in the browser) so the sensitive data doesn't leave the client machine.

What is the best approach?

With the GUI not possible, I think you can only do this by formula. Might need to create 2 field, one hidden away that only certain Users can see. One is the general field data that get input, then get 'delete'.

I think there was a paid extension that also do something like this, as it is paid I tend not to look into it further.

Thanks for the idea. Better if there was a "defined" place to jump in.

We'll just monkey patch so it's transparent to the user and doesn't require changes to the system.
