varchar mask formats

[scott.moreland]

Is there a way to set a default mask for a particular field? Example; I want to create a mask for a varchar field that will hold IP address information. So I would like to set a mask setting of something like ###.###.###.###. With the mask set, a user could input the IP address without inputting the periods in the address.

you can create own field type or (easier) create a view for this field and set it in entityDefs

Since I'm rather new to Espo, Can you point me to the location the location where this is done?

an example of custom view creation - https://github.com/espocrm/documenta...ustom-views.md

as example you can get entity Account field shipping address (
application/Espo/Modules/Crm/Resources/metadata/entityDefs/Account.json - fields - "shippingAddress"
/client/modules/crm/src/views/account/fields/shipping-address.js
)
