For example I have the field of country code that is lenght=2 letter I don't want that will be more space in this field In another case I have a CAP code that is lenght= 5 numbers I use still a SINGLE LINE TEXT filed because I don't want it as a number So I need set lenght = 5 and allow to type in only numbers How can I do it???
