I am collecting Social Security in a Portal PowerApp. I would like to turn 123-45-6789 into say 123-4#_#### as soon as user keys in the value. How do I achieve it? Is there a REGEX or Java Script to achieve this? IF so, can you please show me this?
Thank you.
sorry about the delay, I think the easiest way here would be turning your input element into a Password type:
Share
Report

$("#pde_socialsecuritynumber").attr("type","password")this is a quick win, but they wouldn't see the value when typing, it would always be hidden
Thank you, Oliver for your reply.
Here is the Requirement:
“Each digit is only visible as it’s typed and then ideally is hidden as a number sign (#) after a few seconds (e.g.: 123-4#-####) or optionally when clicked next button at the bottom of that page and will show the masked number if clicked “Previous” button at the bottom of the next page of the form giving submitter a sense of security when submitting important PII such as SSN in an online form. However, the actual and complete value goes directly to secure Dataverse and email notification when the form is submitted.”
Is there a Java script or another way to achieve this? Can you explain in detail and step by step as I am novice, please?
My column/field name is: pde_socialsecuritynumber
hi @SueA the approach above would be creating an additional input control and manipulating via JS
there are other similar codes available online as well: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40513950/javascript-input-text-masking-without-plugin
can you give more details of your requirement? users would still be able to inspect the page and check the real value.. also what's the business value on this requirement?
Hi:
Thank you for your response. But the JavaScript you provided did not work in the "Form Options" of Portal Management's Advanced Form nor CSS worked in the liquid Code Editor on the Portal to camouflage the Social Security. Can you please tell me where does this script go in the Portal Management or on the Portal?
