Hi everyone,
I'm proposing to enhance the Text User Parameter by an option for on the fly input checking with RegEX syntax. The check shall be appied whenever any insert happens in the text field and notify the user immediately upon not allowed characters (e.g. background colour turns red and Excecute button becomes invalid)
Regex checking could be triggerd by a checkbox in Manage User Parameters section.
Yes, please add this feature!
Use case:
User (Survey team) entering ProjectWise URN to upload new CAD file to GIS via FME server. REGEX used to validate correct URN string format and not using URL instead of URN.
Agreed! please add super SAFE subs
I am needing this feature! Our use case is people need to register for an account with us, and their mobile/cell phone number is the unique key for this account. Currently we are limited in being able to validate the input at data entry page, we can only validate once the user submits the form, but by this stage it is too late. Immediate feedback to the user while inputting is the obvious solution here.
There are so many use cases for this feature. One that is currently perplexing me is users enter project names that become folder names. Folder names must follow an approved character set and shouldn’t be so long that they run off the screen.
I thought I had found a solution with scripted parameters, but they cannot be published. Thanks!
