Issue with PowerApps Edit form allowing special characters in number column

Hello PowerApps community,

I'm encountering an issue with an Edit form in PowerApps. I have a column named "Study Number" with a data type set to "Number." However, despite specifying the data type as a number, the form is allowing the entry of special characters such as the '%' symbol in the "Study Number" column.

Additionally, I'd like to mention that in the backend, in the Dataverse table, the "Study Number" column has a data type of "Single Line of Text."

Is there a way to restrict the input to only accept numeric values and prevent the entry of special characters like '%' in a number column within an Edit form, while considering the backend data type? Any insights or suggestions on how to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Hi @Mayankk1H,

Have you set the Format property of the Text Input control to be 'Number'.

What do you meant by the data type is set to 'Number'?

Hi @Mayankk1H ,

This is a tricky one which I have encountered myself (so I will post from this). % is actually the only non-numeric character other than a decimal point the column will accept - I get around it with this OnChange

If( "%" in Text(Self.Text), Reset(Self) )
