you might come up with other ways.

I already have, if I decide to continue developing them - as I mentioned.

Very hard for me to say definitively if I don't know what you're trying to do.

I'm adding a callback to the $customValidationCode for a text field, to validate it - as I mentioned.

Unfortunately,  based on the information provided thus far, a few projects I'm working on are now dead in the water. When more information is made available, maybe they'll be resuscitated but I can't proceed with them (at this time) in all good conscience without the bigger picture.

Thank you - that's several project dead in the water then.

Hypothetical question - let's say I've created a hook on \IPS\Helpers\Form\Text and added in something to be used as the $customValidationCode callback.

Will that be possible using the new tools you are currently planning to provide in v5?

Note: I'm aware that I can probably do something JS to do this in a different way - but I'm just looking for a Yes/No answer on the above question, as it will help me make an immediate decision on something.
