Ideally, I think you would prevent the input of incorrect values on the front end, but do some validation on the back end, because you can't rely on client-side JavaScript to ensure the input you receive is valid.</p> <p>Ignoring for a moment forcing the input on the client side, you could do some validation on the back end using the gform_validation hook, to force all the inputs to be between 0.1 and 100, and then to total all the values and return an error if they do not add up to 100. </p> <p>However, this customization is beyond the support we can provide in the help forums. If you'd like to consider hiring a developer to help you with this, you can find a list of them <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/how-the-job-board-works" rel="nofollow">here</a>, and can post a job on our <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/forum/job-board#postform" rel="nofollow">job board</a> if you like.

I don't believe there is a way to do this natively. You might be able to skip this filter altogether and add some descriptive text beneath the fields, then perform validation on the client side, with jQuery, or using the gform_validation filter <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_validation" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_validation</a></p> <p>Or, you could use a select box with numeric values to constrain the inputs to numeric only. However, if you can't break it down like 10%, 20%, 30%, etc, you would have to have a select box with 1 to 100%, right?</p> <p>Do any of these ideas sound helpful? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/list-2-columns-text-numeric-value#post-70285 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 03:42:06 +0000 tooedge 70285@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I am new to GF...</p> <p>I was wondering if there is a way to accept different inputs for List Columns...</p> <p>I have a TWO COLUMN LIST for [NAME] and [Share %]</p> <p>[NAME] accepts Text Inputs, which works right now<br /> AND<br /> [% SHARE] accepts only Numeric Values.</p> <p> Is there a way GF can do this?</p> <p>Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance :) </p>
