SSN Masking using Format Mask option in Forms
934365Sep 19 2012 — edited Sep 20 2012All,
I need to mask the SSN field with 'X' for the first 5 digits.
Is it possible to achieve this using the Format Mask option.
I tried many regular expressions and can only format the number 123456789 to 123-45-6789 but not into XXX-XX-6789.
Can you please help with a solution.
As of now, I am using the post-query and other triggers to do this. But I'm feeling that there must be a better solution.
My solution is very complex where I have the actual SSN in a hidden field and show the masked ssn in the visible field.
SSN is the driving value for our business logic which I cannot change at this point.
Thanks for your help
