Expand data entry features, Number Field additions

zolo Public · Jun 27 2022

Our users are migrating from Oracle Forms interfaces to Oracle Apex services, and it is extremely important that the speed of data capture is not reduced.

As a result, several requests were made:

  1. greater support for mouseless data recording in forms (e.g. close validation messages with [Esc])
     
  2. as many services as possible to help validate data entry and prevent incorrect data entry (without separate pop-ups)
     
  3. Manage number fields:
     The current Number Field Page item has the basic features, but there are serious gaps.
  • it would be good if there was a property that only numbers are displayed on a mobile device (currently this must be specified in the custom attribute parameter)
  • in addition to the min and max values, a step size corresponding to the standard html input step would often be required
  • only characters that are valid according to the format mask are accepted
  • if used as a parameter in a reference, a formula (eg.
    : P1_NUMBER_ITEM automatically interpreted as a number
This is currently on the roadmap for a future release of Oracle APEX.

    Partial duplicate of FR-2132.

    As I said there:

    It would eliminate a lot of confusion if the features and behaviour for items of Type: Number aligned with the input type="number"  element defined in the HTML specification.

    APEX should basically provide direct implementations of all the HTML input states grouped under Basic item types, plus Enhanced items such as Shuttles, Checkbox Group, Popup LOV, Numeric (with format masks etc), plus slots for Plug-Ins and Legacy items.

    Virtual keyboard support for number fields is planned for 22.2. The other items in this ideas will have to be evaluated separately.
