Regex Field Validation on Catalog Item does not prevent submission

[GaryJHayes]

I have defined a Variable Validation Regex for a simple 6 digit number on my Madrid system:

This expression works fine and generates the field error:

However, when I hit the submit button the record is submitted without an error.

Other posts on this forum suggest that the submission should be prevented with an error

Is there anything else I need to do?

Hi,

I assume you use Client script and your are not stopping the form submission.

Use return false.

Thanks,

Hi GaryJHayes,

Better go for client Script:

Type : On change 

Field : <Select_variable>          //Employee Number 

Script : 

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {

var empid= /^[0-9]{6}$/;

if (!empid.test(newValue) && newValue!="") {

g_form.setValue('<variable_name>','');      //Employee Number

g_form.showFieldMsg("<Variable_name>","Not a Valid Employee number","error");

}

 )
