Data validation: Require phone numbers to be entered in a chosen format, e.g., (502) 897-2785 or 502-897-2785
Merged
Restrict all phone number fields on the application to a certain format including dashes, e.g., (502) 897-2785 or 502-897-2785 and make the phone number field for the candidate a required field.
There should be data validation on other fields, like email addresses. This should apply to when these are edited by current users in their profiles, or on the back-end as well by administrators.

Input Data Mask for phone numbers
Merged Since we use Blackboard Connect for our emergency alert system and it only works if phone numbers are in this format xxx-xxx-xxxx it would be really nice to have an input mask that would force users to put in their phone number with area code.0 Under consideration

This can be expanded way beyond just phone numbers. The option to have pull down list with prepopulated data values for may items would be an immense time saver. For example a recent emergency contact form was filled out with the relationship value "yes"
In addition to this, as a user edits their information we would need the ability to write custom error messages to explain the formatting rules.
Agreed - I put in a request for this as well. 10 digits isnt ideal tho for international numbers. We would like to be able to set the length and then have it reformat to chosen format. Such as a string with no dashes, the dashes do not work well for intentional numbers as some countries have 2 digit or 3 digit country codes.
Thanks!
Even better would be to simply reformat all numbers to given format. Just require that phone numbers be 10 digits, then choose a format to display them. Just store the numbers as 10-character strings.
