Limit number values to add to a Types Number Field

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
Can we limit the numbers that one can add to a Types Number Field?
Like, only 1-10 or so?

Solution:
No.
This would require Custom Code.

I have added a number field to my custom post type. This adds a text box where user can enter anything but I want to control the range of numbers.

In pods they use sliders which is perfect. I can select range of slider then user in admin when creating new post type can use the slider to select the correct number.

How do I do the equivalent in toolset?

It's not possible with Toolset native features.

The Number field lets you add any number (also decimal or such) manually, ba typing them into the field.

A validation or range would have to be done manually, using Custom Code applied to the save_post action:

This would require Custom Code.

A possibility is to use CRED, where you can apply a CRED Filter that would then filter the Posts field on submission for the value and return an error in case it does not match your criteria:
