How to edit prepopulated field data (Please enter phone number etc)

Hi everyone,

I have an advanced form displayed in my portal with various questions including a QV to a contact card.

The trouble is this is to be displayed as view only and when it appears on the portal it has "provide a phone number" if the field is blank. (see pic)

This is annoying because the user of the portal cannot enter anything here and nor do I require them to.

Is there any way I can change that text? It is not a label - in an editable form you just overwrite the text with the number.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Cheers,

Matthu

If you have populated the field in DataVerse, then you would need to put JavaScript on the form and empty the field on the form (if the Portal Form or the Field is set to ReadOnly on the DataVerse Form that is being used for the Portal form any such change will not update back to DataVerse.

Generally, for this type of thing I would not pre-populate the data and instead use JQuery on the Portal to set the 'placeholder' attribute on the field (intput etc) as this shows a message to the user but the field is actually empty.

Please follow instructions from Fubar.

adding my two cents

1. using jQuery either you can remove your input field attribute

2. or set the input field colour to transparent or white.

$(document).ready(function() { console.log(555, "Ragavan"); $('#cr5ce_employeenumber').css("color", "#fff"); });

Place the above code in the web page localized content > Advanced > Custom Javascript.

NB: Replace the jquery to remove the placeholder.

Hope it helps.
