remove phone number validation

[livewire]

Hi

im trying to add a / for certain phone numbers.. But it doesn't save the phone number and throws an validation error. how do i allow slashes added to the phone numbers?

Hello
instead of slash, you should use for example x.
Only digits, latin letters and characters -+_@:#(). are allowed

Hi,
maybe :

https://github.com/espocrm/espocrm/blob/master/application/Espo/Resources/metadata/app/regExpPatterns.json#L27

https://github.com/espocrm/espocrm/blob/6f676c8a2f0b55f430e8497a6a758b263978ab43/application/Espo/Classes/FieldValidators/PhoneType.php#L188

i think you can create a custom metadata/app/regExpPatterns.json
and put :

     "phoneNumberLoose": {   "pattern": "[0-9A-Za-z_@:#\/\\+\\(\\)\\-\\. ]+"   },  ​ 

not tested.

Excellent solution item

I did not test the regExp pattern either because I am totally ignorant about them, but just to compliment the answer, the new metadata file should be located
at custom/Espo/Custom/Resources/metadata/app/regExpPatterns.json
