Format restrictions for a custom field

Issue

When attempting to populate a custom field with more than 100 characters the following validation error occurs:

This value does not match the required format

Cause

The default format for a custom field is X(1-100) which means the system will accept a value between 1 and 100 characters

Solution

There are two settings that may be used, compact format or regular expression.

• When compact format is specified it will be used during extraction to help find the correct value, as well as for validation
• Regular expression is used during verification to add or remove validation errors from the field. In this case the following regular expression "^.*$" can be used to avoid the format restriction validation error
