Hi i want to create a form so my users can enter codes in them but i don't know what this kind of form is called
So basically if the user enters more then 5 characters then you add a - this keeps happening until the max characters (20) has been reached
It should look something like this

12345-67891-12345-67891
That - has to auto fil itself

You probably need to do it with some Javascript in the actual form.

While we are more than willing to help those that are stuck, that doesn't mean that we are here to do it all for you! We can't do all the work, you are either getting paid for this, or it's part of your grades and it wouldn't be at all fair for us to do it all for you.

So we need you to do the work, and we will help you when you get stuck. That doesn't mean we will give you a step by step solution you can hand in!
Start by explaining where you are at the moment, and what the next step in the process is. Then tell us what you have tried to get that next step working, and what happened when you did.

The search term you're looking for is "Javascript masked input".

For example: Javascript Input Mask | imaskjs[^]
