Character Mask causing issues on other user entry fields

Hey all,

My end users have been encountering a strange glitch in some of the QuickCapture applications I have deployed.

Background:

  • One feature layer where there is a details attribute field, that is populated either through character masking or free text depending on the point type.
  • Some point types require a specific character mask (i.e. "WA-102" for wetland A, flag number 102).
  • When the user selects a point that has a user entry with free text, not a character mask, the character mask for wetlands populates and the user can only enter data in that format.
  • Work around: the user collected that data point, closes out the specific QC app, then re-opens the app and the point then allows the user to enter free text.
    • Once the app is closed and re-opened, that glitch doesn't occur again

Have other uses been encountering this problem?  What sort of workaround do I need to do on the author side of things, so I can make sure my end-users don't have to deal with this weird work around in the field.  They know what they have to do, but it is annoying for them.
