Tip: Prevent ; and # in fields referenced in choose fields

1

Hi,

in case you have choose fields, which reference information from another workflow you should prevent the user from entering special characters.

Example:
A subworkflow is linked to a parent workflow with a choose field and uses the Title field as the display name.
If a user enters ; or # in the value of the field, this will break the choose field logic. The system will be interpreted as a delimiter for a new choose field.

This can be achieved by using a regular expression.
RegEx:
^[^;#]+$

Best regards,
Daniel
