Email Validation Not Allowing Valid Addresses

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 107

Hello All,

 

We have a client that has a portal with an email field on a form. When a user puts a valid email address into the field that contains a "+" character (see redacted image), it's throwing an error claiming it to be invalid.

 

I've searched through the metadata on the form for any type of regex that I could potentially modify to include the "+" but haven't seen anything that would indicate it was the right place...and I'm fine adding some regex to it if that's what should happen (i.e. create new metadata and add the regex) but figured since it was validating it SOMEWHERE already, I ought to find out the location and modify the existing validation...

 

Thoughts?

 

Thanks in advance!

    Thank you, sir. This definitely was the answer...I just needed to keep digging...although, to be fair (in a Letterkenny sing songy lilt for anyone who wants to rip Chel later), it was so buried that I almost gave up looking.

     

    Cheers,

    It appears like its a bit of custom javascript, from memory regex in a metadata item behind the form errors inline at the top of form like other out of the box validations rather than popup an Alert. 

     

    Custom JavaScript can be hidden in many places

    • Web Page (localized content page rather than the root)
      • under the Advanced tab
      • If implemented really badly: inside the Content->Copy element (in the HTML view)
    • Entity Form - bottom of the Advanced Settings tab
    • Web Template (if using a custom template) - inside the web template as script tags (and js files)

    I probably missed one, but the above are the main ones.
