Public bug reported:
Date
On date fields there doesn’t seem to be any form of validation. The field
accepts keyboard input, but only numbers or dashes. But when entered manually
there’s no validation if say 43729-4784-475-- is a valid date. When the values
are persisted, and the form is reopened, this particular input resulted in the
date 4375-12-17.
Number
Number fields have validation. It’s allowed to enter any text in the field, but
when saving, it’s validated and seems to only accept numbers, dots, commas and
dash (minus). There’s however no extra validation for data elements for
positive integers for instance. It still allows minus and commas/dots. One
other weird validation is that numbers 3,4 3.4 -3.4 all seems to be valid,
but -3,4 is not valid. So it seems to allow commas to be used for decimals (it
also converts dots into commas), but it doesn’t allow negative decimals with
commas, only with dots. In addition when opening the form later, the decimal
parts of the numbers are removed, both for number type «number», and for number
type «integer». The result from the api call seems to contain the decimal part,
so removing the decimal part for type «number» in the form must be considered
to be a bug.
Drop-downs/Option sets
When text is entered into drop-down fields and deleted again, the field seems
to be marked as dirty and validated to not contain a value from the option set.
So a non-mandatory field isn’t allowed to be saved as empty, if some text is
typed in or a value is selected and then deleted. So this is the most buggy
validation in my opinion.
The data fields are tested in a custom form in event capture, but the
same issues might also be present in the default form, and perhaps in
other places.
