Constraints not working on an integer field form

HI Antoined,

it´s possible to do this kinds of restraints in the Form. But another question first: Why don´t you solve this use case with a list? You can find similar priority lists in the CM processes. Maybe this would be the easier solution?

You mean natively, or writing the check with Javascript?

I don't know what the CM processes is. What should I put as a datasource if I want to set the property as a list instead of integer?

Take a look at the Express ECO Form. There is this kind of Priority List used:

You can use lists to specify these kind of predefined values:

Just take a look at ItemType and Form "Express ECO" to see how these kinds of list are used. Datasource would be the predefined list. In this case you don´t have Integer values, but you can use the list for filtering and searching.

You original idea can also work, but from my POV is unnecessary complicated for the use case.

Thanks, creating a list worked. Personally I find that to have to create a list looks more complicated that to simply validate an integer, but I see the Aras philosophy here.

Depends on your use case. Sometimes lists are easier. But pattern validation is not uncommon. I use this code in a onLoad Method for a quantity selector, which also stores an integer value:

var field4 = getFieldByName("_qty");
var input4 = field4.getElementsByTagName("input")[0];
input4.setAttribute("pattern","/^-?\d+\.?\d*$/"); 
input4.setAttribute("maxlength", "4");
input4.setAttribute("type", "number");
input4.setAttribute("min", "1");
input4.setAttribute("max", "300");
input4.setAttribute("onKeyPress", "if(this.value.length==3) return false;");
