How to validate a phone number?

[sam siu]

I would like to ask if there is any workaround to validate a phone number?

For example, I must enter +111 1111 1111 for a custom field (Phone).

Thanks all!

You'll need to find or write a custom field add-on that provides a field that you can put the validation into.

I usually look for one of the "regex validated fields" you can find in the marketplace, as a regex (while annoyingly hard to construct or read) is a very flexible and powerful way of validating field content.

Is it free?

Do you think i can achieve the same result by Script Runner?

Depends on which add-on you go for.

Yes, you can do this sort of validation with ScriptRunner.

Thanks for your reply!

Would you mind to give some suggestions on how to achieve this?

Regex.Match(number, @"^(\+[0-9]{9})$")

Something like this?
