[rt-users] RT 3.6.0 Custom Field Validation
Hi Everyone, There is a new feature in RT 3.6.0 that allows one to set up Validation on data entered into a custom field. The question I have is how does one define new validations? Also, what syntax is required for setting up validations? Thank you for your help. Take care!

Nick, It's a combo box, so if the validation you want doesn't exists you can just type it in. The syntaz is Perl regular expression syntax, so just refer to your favorite perl manual. This is just from observation. I have used it much yet. -Todd ___ http://lists.bestpractical.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rt-users Community help: http://wiki.bestpractical.com Commercial support: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Discover RT's hidden secrets with RT Essentials from O'Reilly Media.

I sort of thought so, as I could not find an option to set this up globally. Having a global configuration capability may become a useful feature in the future, as folks may want to choose from a library of validations; as opposed to setting up validations on a field by field basis. I agree. Lots of extensions could be made for different types of validation. Looking at the RT code, I'm surprised there is no Callback for adding new ones. I'm sure Jesse would take a patch for that. -Todd ___ http://lists.bestpractical.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rt-users Community help: http://wiki.bestpractical.com Commercial support: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Discover RT's hidden secrets with RT Essentials from O'Reilly Media.

You could just edit html/Admin/CustomFields/Modify.html and add them in to the Validation section. It isn't ideal, but it may help. -- Joshua Colson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ http://lists.bestpractical.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rt-users Community help: http://wiki.bestpractical.com Commercial support: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Discover RT's hidden secrets with RT Essentials from O'Reilly Media.

RE: [rt-users] RT 3.6.0 Custom Field Validation
Hi Joshua, Thank you for writing and the location of the code which contains the validation definitions. It would not be too bad to add the various validations here, as it is better than the alternative of typos when someone tries to enter a validation when creating a custom field. Ideally, this data showed be stored in the database somewhere and the contents maintained via the Global configuration option. At least I know where to make a change when the time comes to use this capability. Take care!
