Hi,
I have further investigated how Forminator handles different field types, and I noticed that you already use the single quote (') prefix for Phone fields to preserve the + sign and prevent Google Sheets from treating it as a formula.
This confirms that the ‘Force Text’ logic is already implemented within the plugin’s core, but it is currently limited to specific field types.
My request is to extend this existing functionality to standard Text and Calculation fields. As mentioned, national legal identifiers (like the 17-digit codes I am processing) suffer from the exact same data corruption as phone numbers if they are not prepended with an apostrophe. Since the logic is already part of the plugin for phone numbers, could you provide a filter or an option to enable this ‘Plain Text’ force for other numeric-only text fields?
This would ensure data integrity for legal codes, IBANs, and long serial numbers.
Best regards,
Elvijs
