Numbers In Alpha/No Digits Field (bug?)

rholzler 28 Apr, 2017
We are receiving spam form submissions with letters and numbers (i.e. 5903455879be1) in fields that should be letters only.

In the validation rules we have the following:
Required: Yes
Alpha: Yes
Alpha Numeric: No
No Digits: Yes

Hi rholzler,

Are those Server side validation settings? If so, they should block the submissions.

Yes, those are the server side validation settings. Hence my confusion when we are getting emails where the field contains numeric data.

Should I install ChronoForms V6 over the V5?
Would this cause any problems for the current forms?

Hi rholzler ,

Is the Serverside validation action before the Email action?

Does it have an Event Loop, Show Stopper or ReDirect action in the pink On Fail event?

Can you replicate this problem when you test the form?

It was my assumption that since the form automatically had javascript form filed validation, that it would also get serverside validation to prevent form-bot submissions.

I was not aware that I needed to add a Serverside Validation element to On Submit section of the Setup page too.

Thanks for clarifying that form me.
