Published Parameters : add new type "text with regular expression"

Add a new type of published parameter : text with regular expression (or add it as an option in the actual text type).

The idea is to be able to control the input by a regular expression.

Imagine the possibilities : check if the input is a valid email, a valid ID, etc...

(Could be done with Python Parameter or post testing but the idea is to get an immediate validation when the user enters input text)

Yes, I was looking for this. This would be really helpful to give users direct feedback on the validity of their input (on FME Server). At this moment the workspace first has to start and run before you can evaluate the input and give the user feedback through a termination message (and most of the time that message is not clear enough for users).

Actually I am really surprised that this is an idea from 2017 already and there never has been more support for this.

This would also be really helpful to avoid having useless failed FME Server Jobs due mistakes when entering parameter values.
