hey @saranyavs 

Create a Catalog Client Script
Type: onSubmit
UI Type: All

Script:

function onSubmit() {

var name = g_form.getValue('name'); // variable name

// Regex
var regex = /^[A-Za-z]+ [A-Za-z]+$/;

if (!regex.test(name)) {
g_form.showFieldMsg('name', 'Please enter value in format: Firstname Lastname', 'error');
return false;
}

return true;
}

@saranyavs 

why are you expecting user to remember any person's first name and last name while entering?

why not use reference variable?

What's your actual business requirement? what's that form used for? what that variable used for?

This is for new account creation, hence reference field cannot be used.

and the variabe is used for orchestration for AD account creation.
