What is the use of Variable Validation Regex and how to use it? w.r.t. Madrid

[Maloy Banerjee]

Hi,

Can anyone put some light on the topic "Variable Validation Regex" on what's its use and why it's been used?

It is a new topic in Madrid under:

Service Catalog > Catalog Variables > Variable Validation Regex.

Please suggest.

Many Thanks,

Maloy

It is new and great feautre added in Madrid, 

Instead of creating repeated validation scripts, we can create a variable validation regex and use it in our variables.

steps to use:

step 1: create variable validation regex

step 2: open your variable dictionary, configure your form layout to add "Validation Regex" in form

step 3 : choose the validation regex which you want apply for the variable and save

step 4:  now test the variable by entering your input, it will throw error message ,if the entered input doesn't match the Regex

this will save a lot of time and effort which will be spent for creating same validation for multiple variables.
