I have set a field with the Extra Attribute of:

type="tel"

yet the frontend is parsed as:

<input type="tel" ="type=""tel""" ...

Do I need to change my attribute syntax, or this this a bug?

Hi jmeidal,

Please try type:tel (with a colon and no quotes) - that appears to work when I test; though not all browsers support 'tel'.

Thanks, yes! That clears it up for me. I'm in Chrome currently.

Since I'm on this topic, is there a new syntax for something like this to add in my attribute for custom masking?

data-inputmask='mask' : '999-999-9999'

Hi,

Same:

data-inputmask:'mask' : '999-999-9999'

Best regards,
Max

Cool!
Super easy and nice to have this working. My previous type="tel" must have been what messed up the <input> field previously. Thanks.
