Is that a variable where you want validation during catalog form submission?

if yes then please use variable validation regex where no script is required

Out of the box there is already 1 for numbers and alphabets

Simply associate this to your variable under type specifications

Hi Ankur, 

 

Thanks, but this doesn't prevent spaces from being entered in the field, can you kindly help with how I can prevent spaces(at the start, in between or in the end) as well maybe by modifying the validation regex.

Can you try this-
