Are you required to use the Record Search Box? Because with a manually-defined search box, this would be trivially easy to handle. I'm not sure how you'd handle it using the Record Search, though i suppose there might still be a work-around I'm not thinking of.

Hi Mike,

yes,DB will store the number alone, we are using record search box in grid field And record search we can't remove the "-" from given value.

apart of custom text Record field option is there any solution we can do?

Thanks in Advance.

Are you saying the DB field can only contain numbers? Because if that's how it works, then it should be pretty easy to take the user's filter input and remove anything non-numeric before passing it to the query.

Thanks Mathieu,

Yes,we are using text field for storing but not storing with "-" to DB.

Again, user will search sometimes with "-" and sometime he will search without "-" as well as and we will get 5 to 6 filed like this format while case creation time . is it only possible to achive with custom text Record field ? do we have any other alternative solution for this?

Thanks in Advance.

Possible you're saving it in an integer field?

If you want to keep the dash, I would suggest changing it to a Text field.

If you can't do that, another option would be creating a custom text Record field that inserts the dash at that position and change the column and search filter to point to that new field.
