Can I define data format of a custom field?

You can set a format specifier for custom card fields that require structured input—like timestamps, zip codes, or order numbers. This helps standardize data entry and makes typing faster for your team.

Using format specifiers

• 0 → Any digit
• a → Any letter
• * → Any character

For example, if your order numbers always start with ORD, followed by three digits, and end with Z, you could use:
ORD000Z

Handling optional & predefined values

• Optional values: Enclose them in square brackets [ ].
  Example: [0]aa → An optional digit followed by two letters.
• Predefined values: Enclose them in curly brackets { }.
  Example: {+1} 000 → “+1” is automatically added before a phone number.
• Displaying special characters: Use ` before a placeholder character to show it in the field.

Examples of common format specifiers

• Phone number: +{1}(000)000-0000
• Time value: 00:00
• Zip code: 00000
• Deal value: $00000.00
• Timestamp: 00:00:00:00
• Order number: [AAA]000-000
