Hello,
I need a field in which a user is limited to a 3 digit entry which allows the numbers 0-9.
Currently I am using a text field as my object on my form, so I can limit the length to three characters.
I have looked into regular expressions in order to do what I want, but the problem is that I still can enter ".", "-", and "-". That's the numpad Decimal, numpad Minus, and the dash keys. I am unsure why these are allowed, but I need them to not be, as it allows a user to enter a negative or a decimal number into the field. I imagine something isn't quite right with my regex or how I'm applying it.
If there's a better way of going about this, I'm all ears.

Hi,
1). Using Number Field
For your requirement use XTYPE as numberfield. Add property to that node/field as maxValue.(Best Approach )
Example:
<limit jcr:primaryType="cq:Widget"
fieldLabel="Limit"
name="./limit"
maxValue="9"
xtype="numberfield"/>
2). Using Regex.
<limitjcr:primaryType="cq:Widget"
fieldLabel="Limit"
name="./limit"
regex="/[0-9]{1}$/"
regexText="Enter 0-9 values only."
xtype="textfield"/>
Why are you not using a numeric field and setting the Maximum Number of Digits to 3?

regexText="Enter 0-9 values only."
xtype="textfield"/>
^(0|[1-9][0-9]*)$ this for two digit between 0 to 9 and also allow 0
ref: Regex pattern for numeric values - Stack Overflow
it think you can try ^(0|[1-9][0-9][0-9]*)$
TundraSteve any further thoughts?

HI,
1). Using Regex
below example will allows 0-99 values only.
it will match your requirement.
<limit jcr:primaryType="cq:Widget"
fieldLabel="Limit"
name="./limit"
regex="/^([0-9]{2}|[0-9]{1})$/"
regexText="Enter 0-99 only.Number's only"
xtype="textfield"/>
2). Using numberfield
you can free to use Number field as XTYPE. it works better for you.
If you give maxValue as 99. that field allow 0-99 values only.
Example:
<limit jcr:primaryType="cq:Widget"
fieldLabel="Limit"
name="./limit"
maxValue="99"
xtype="numberfield"/>
Thanks.
As mentioned above best approach is to use the numeric field. If server is 6.3 onwards then there is a property (Maximum Number of Digits) to set the maximum no. of allowed digits in numeric field that can control the limit of entered digits.
