Field Validations
Field validations allow you to control the accepted input of a field.
Validation types
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Required | A value must be present. |
| Unique | No other entry may have an identical value defined for that field. |
| Character Limit | Text fields (single, multi and markdown) allow you to additionally limit the character input count between a given range. |
| Limit Input Range | Integers and Floats allow you restrict the allowed numeric range for the fields (always inclusive) to an input between a given range. |
| Patterns | Text fields can be restricted by either disallowed text patterns or enforced text patterns. These are defined by standard Regular Expressions (RegExp) and do not need to be wrapped in opening or closing slashes. You can modify these pattern searches with additional flags such as ignoring case, enabling multi-line search, single-line search or both. |
