In this link, you can find how to refer to an element on different DataPage types

Are you trying the code on an update form or submission form? the format of the IDs you are referring to on an update/details page is different from submission. What is the link to the page where you have this code on which is throwing an error?

Hi! Just an update on this, Caspio has a new Tech Tip called: Format Phone Number in DataPages. You may visit it here: https://howto.caspio.com/tech-tips-and-articles/advanced-customizations/format-phone-number-in-datapages/

Hope it helps!

Hi All - In relation to Caspio's new feature of Worldwide SMS Notifications, if you would like your input phone number fields to be automatically formatted - you can use the International Telephone Input plugin. This JavaScript plugin is used for entering and validating international telephone numbers. It adds a flag dropdown to any input, detects the user's country, displays a relevant placeholder, and provides formatting/validation methods. To know more of the customization, you can check this link: https://github.com/jackocnr/intl-tel-input

Here's a sample result in DataPage:

After submission in table:
