Hello Team - I am creating a Catalog Item and will add a question for requester's to provide an account number of some sort.  How do I configure this to check for proper number formatting? Account number maybe something like 00-0000-0000-00 blah blah.  What is the easiest, best practice option to do so please?  Thank you.

If you don't have any experience with scripting, recommend creating a Variable Validation Regex because there's no scripting.

Since it's customer number, you'll probably use it more then 1 form?

To create and use Variable Validation Regex.

1. From Navigator, search "Regex". Select "Variable Validation Regex" and then "New" button.

2. Enter as in the following and select "Submit" to save.

3. Open your form. Open the variable "customer number". Select the "Type Specifications" tab. Select "Customer Number" as Validation Regex.

Hi,

You can use example text field for this while creating variable. With the help of this you can show fix format for that variable in the backend.(check attached screenshot)
