Form Validation

Form Validation properties

The Form Validation element can be used to validate data that a user enters into a form.

Regular expressions and comparison operations can be configured, and server-side code can be written to do custom validations if the existing functionality does not meet your needs.

The regular expression syntax is standard, and references to the regular expression syntax can be found in numerous places on the Web.

Note: Validation will not run until the user submits the form to the workflow.
