Hello @Snehal  ,

Create an Onsubmit client script on required table to check the value that single line text field start with "DG - " and update it as per your requirement:

function onSubmit()
{
var dgField = g_form.getValue('field_name');
If(dgField.toString().indexOf("DG -") > -1)  // you can also used condition that dgField "starts with" "DG -" instead of this if it not works.
{
return true;
}
alert("Please add value in dgField that starts with "DG -"");
return false;
}

 If my solution helps you any way then mark it as accepted and helpful.

Thank You!!

Use an onBefore business rule on the table (insert/update) with this script:

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {

    // Check if the name starts with "DG - "
    if (!current.name.startsWith('DG - ')) {
        gs.addErrorMessage('The group name must start with "DG - ".');
        current.setAbortAction(true);
    }

})(current, previous);
