Yes, it's possible. Please just change the type from text to tel and you already have telephone field. It's actually a HTML5 input type and I already covered it here.
The Meta Box Builder could not be extended that way. If you create a new field type, it's available for coding only. It won't show in the Builder.
The tel input still allows to enter text. In order to force a format, please add another custom attribute with name pattern and value like [0-9]{3}-[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{4} (123-456-7890). Then the plugin will use that pattern as a validator for data entered.
Please note that the value is a regular expression, where [0-9] means only numbers, {3} means only 3 times. For more info, please read this guide.
Hi Anh - I found the patterns detail on my own yesterday... I was assuming that the pattern allows for real-time field validation. unfortunately the pattern method only validates on submission. 🙁
I'm using the Meta Box Builder for a phone number field, and the number doesn't get formated to a phone number format like the custom attribute mentioned.
Tried both text & number field types, and also added the "tel" type attribute.
I have a text box that I need to be clickable to call for a phone number. I've tried everything. Should be pretty simple. I have a setting page with client numbers and have selected the number in elementor. I prepended the text with tel: however, it is not calling instead it's going to a broken link. URL doesn't work either.
