Native phone formatting function

Agreed. However I don't think it is at all likely that FMI would implement JS as part of its native code for the calculation engine.
A 'C' or 'C++' library stands a better chance.
Right. So, as I see it there are three ways to implement this functionality:
IMO, for this particular feature options 1 or 2 (built-in calculation or custom function) would be most appropriate.
I would use #3. THink of a separate file that handles that and uses the web viewer to return the formatted phone number to the main file.
I'm working on that tonight . . . .
I'll take that. Beats making an API call just to format a string.
My only concern is that it work well on WebD and mobile devices/browsers.
That's always my wish, too! If we cannot have "built-in native", then "native" custom function or "native" JavaScript should be able to do the work. And yep! there still would be some things that we just need to make external calls. But having something "just work" even with a standalone (sans i'net)? GOAL!

I guess, on those two components of the platform, I'd send the process to Server, though, as I write this, I'm not sure that would work . . .
Isn't that technically a microservice? LOL

Not an 'external' anything if you use jbrown methods to get the JS in the file and use it!
This one may be quite complex, though, and only be valid phone numbers if a call it made eternally.
Good thought!

This may be more promising (stripped down javascript ):

I'd rather see a 'native' approach rather than yet another plug-in function to do this. Calling the JS with a plug-in? perhaps. In a web viewer? What says our resident WV/JS guy: jbrown
