Re: How do you update a field that already has data to support a different format

There might be several ways to do that.... see attached sample form.

Solution 1: if you can have output in different field, this is most common style -- Create another field, say 'reformatted', and set its default value as concat("A", UserInput, "C01")

Solution 2: if it is essential to use the same field and overwrite it, I'd set a rule at the timing of Submit. also added a status field, so that updated fields will not be applied the concatenation again..

Hello, Im looking to update a field, inputted by a user, that would re-format the field after input. Example: User inputs 1234 Output: A1234C01 As you can see, i want to use the input to produce the Output. The Output would always have the same format as example "A C01" Is this possible?
