Custom Data types / Field validation

💬 General Discussion
1

is there any clean user interface way to add custom data types to fields
or to add custom validation to existing data types?

example of use would be for National Insurance numbers.
using a regular expression, a NiNo could be validated like so

/([A-Z]{2}[0-9]{6}[A-D]{1}) /

:cheer: Good Morning,

I have used SugarCRM on and off for a couple of years, and boy it would crash on just about anything I did. I just
came across SuiteCRM a couple of weeks ago and they are very stable. I have installed about 7 modules so far
with no probems. I had the same problem on what you needed. Try this link out, it night help it installed with no problems:

I think you would have add your own JavaScript to validate something like a National Insurance etc. This is not hard to if you are a programmer. My blog has information on how to add your own JavaScript to an editview.
