Validation Rules on Form Fields
User can configure validation rules for the form fields.
NOTE: User can create validation rules for one of the following field types (both object and virtual fields):
- Date
- DateTime
- Time
- Number
- String
- Textarea
- Rich Text
Select a field to create validation rule for. Click "Add New" button in "Validation Rules" section at the left sidebar:
Configure validation rule for the selected field, depending on it's type:
1. Set custom Error Message that will be displayed under the field if validation fails.
2. Configure Regular Expression to validate field input (optional).

4. Set Maximum Length for the field input (optional)
5. Configure conditions using standard condition builder for validation rule to be executed (optional).
