I am working on a form where the user enters their information in fields to generate a report. How can I  keep the formatting for the phone numbers entered into the field to transfer to the text field. when the report is generated? I need (123) 456-7890 but end up with 1234567890

@duquette,

Have you tried adding custom logic in javascript to format this phone number? if not please try adding below logic to format phone number with 10 digits.

 

var phoneNumber = '1234567890';

if(phoneNumber.length == 10){
    phoneNumber = '('+phoneNumber.substr(0,3)+') '+phoneNumber.substr(3,3)+'-'+phoneNumber.substr(6);  //returns formatted phone number (123) 456-7890
}

 

Hope this helps!

    I am assigning the value to a variable then recalling it in the report..

     

    // Primary Contact Information;

    if (pcn.value === ""){
    event.value = "Primary Contact:\n\n\nNo Primary Contact on File";
    }
    else{

    event.value = "Primary Contact:\n\n"+pcn.value+"\nWork: "+pcp.value+"\nCell: "+pcpc.value+"\nEmail: "+pce.value;
    }

        Manjunath, Thank you for your help - I had tried several variations to format the phone number - the solution was a combination of your help and declaring the variable as a string. Again - Thank You!
