Question

Can I add a numeric field or a regular expression (regex) field using the bot builder? 

Answer

No, the bot builder only supports text and drop-down fields. Numeric fields and regex fields aren't supported. See below for alternative options to this.

As a workaround, if the numeric values can be predefined, use the Present options step of the bot builder or use a custom drop-down field combined with the Ask for details step of the bot builder.

  • The Present options allows the bot to display up to ten values. See the images below as an example.

  • A drop-down list combined with the Ask for details step allows the bot to display more values than the Present options. See the images below as an example.
