Inputs in A Question With Mask Adds an Additional Integer

WengNg — Fri, 21 Oct 2016 06:40:05 GMT

Hi,

I have only been able to replicate this on an Android device. I'm running 6.0.1.

When I have a text question with a mask applied and I try to enter inputs, the form adds a 6 at the end of the input for no reason.

This behaviour was not observed on iOS devices.

Please find attached XLSForm for your reference.

Thanks,

Weng

Hi Weng,

The mask in your form is \+600000000000000 , which means that form gives me a default of "+6" - is this what you're referring to? I didn't see any additional number 6's get added to a test 6.0.1 device (Nexus 5). Can you provide a screenshot of the issue along with device information?

Hi James,

See below screenshot from my Samsung Galaxy S7. When I enter the digit 1, an additional digit 6 appears at the end of the input.

It is not from an auto fill or an auto correct thing from the phone. I also just realised that when I hit done, the additional digit will disappear and the inputs are exactly what I want it to be.

Thanks for providing the screenshot and info. I'll attempt to reproduce with the Galaxy S7.

Hi James,

I found out what the issue was, it has something to do with Samsung's predictive text function. If you turn that off, the problem disappears !
