    Numeric Datatype doesn't allow to add zeros in the beginning of number.

    Hi all,

    I am using numeric datatype for phone numbers. It isn't allowing me to save zeros (not all zeros just the ones in the begining) in numbers like "09866500599". The field omits 0 and only rest (ie, "9866500599") getting saved in the umbraco content.

    How can i solve this?

    Or is there any other datatype, that allows me to include zeros in front as well as perform numeric validation?

    Please help, Thanks.

    A true number (Integer) doesn't start with a leading zero. Therefor a phone number is not the same as a number.
    Just use the Textstring with Regex validation :-)

    Thanks for your reply,

    Can you provide any sample how to create datatype with Regex validation? Because i am not sure how to do that. :-(

    Just add a property to the document type with type Textstring and add a regex rule in the regex textarea.
