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.

Hi Satheesh,

i am using this for my validation and i'm using regex to filter certain numbers, however, if i enter any thing other than numbers i get "NaN" error in the string field , i was wondering if you've any insight to stop this from happening?
