Regular Expression not Working in Service Portal

[vijay39]

Hi all,

I have written a client script, which does not allow special characters like below

var value   = /^[a-zA-Z.1-9-_]+(\s+[a-zA-Z] )?$/.test(newValue);

In Service Now main UI, it is working good, like if i give space before the input of a field, it is showing alert not to enter special characters, but in service portal, that alert is not poping up. where could be the problem? Can someone help me on this?

Note: UI type is selected All

and Scope is also Global

Thanks in advance

Vijay

Hi Elijah,

Thanks for the reply. This is the catalog client script written on change of the field. I attached Screen shot. Please take a look

Regards

^[A-Za-z0-9. \-_]*$
