Hi Edouard Lavaud,

Thanks for your guide. Actually I want the system to show an error message
if user enters value < 5 for the input field.
It's very easy to check if we use value type is Number or Date (for Date of
birth). But I really want to use Age value type because it's nice feature
for Tracker capture or Event capture.

Thanks,
