I might be in the minority here, but at first I had absolutely no idea what an "input mask" is. This cleared things up nicely: https://css-tricks.com/input-masking/. Seems like a nice addition – either for the core, or as a third party module.

If it's JS only then I could try adding it to AdminOnSteroids, even though in the past years I haven't felt the need for such feature. What makes it harder that multi-language needs to be taken into account, eg. you may need different mask per language.

This seems to be a quite good lib: https://nosir.github.io/cleave.js/

Cleave looks nice, thanks. I managed to set up a working PoC, the only issue came up was submitting the value - the formatted value got saved so I had to remove fomatting on submit to save the raw value.

You can see the raw value (no delimiters) for a second before submit and Tracy Console also shows the right value.

The configuration looks like this:

Do love me some input masks – one benefit could be using less fields, e.g. not needing a separate area code field for a phone, or enforcing consistency in places..
