Limitation to variable length in catalog item

[sandeshraut198]

Hi Community,

I have requirement in which the max length of variable is 9, I have done that using max_length=9.

But how to set minimum variable length is 8 as well?

Or Maximum and minimum length should be same for variable.

Hello @sandeshraut198 ,

Use regular expressions to fulfill this criteria.

Go to your variable > "Type specifications" section > Select appropriate Validation Regex from drop-down list. > Save it.

In case, RegEx is not present in drop-down. Create new Validation Regex following this path: Service catalog > Variable Validation Regex > Create New.

Hi

catalog variables don't have a direct way to set a minimum length through the system's standard properties like max_length.

You can achieve  it by using client script (onSubmit / onChange)

Following script will help you for this:

function onSubmit() {
    var fieldName = 'variables.your_variable_name'; // Replace with your variable's name
    var fieldValue = g_form.getValue(fieldName);

    if (fieldValue.length < 8 || fieldValue.length > 9) {
        g_form.addErrorMessage('The field must be exactly 8 or 9 characters long.');
        g_form.showFieldMsg(fieldName, 'The field must be between 8 and 9 characters long.', 'error');
        return false; // Prevent form submission
    }

    return true; // Allow form submission
}

I hope my answer helps you to resolve your issue, if yes please mark my answer correct & helpful.

thank you
