I have a text field I used in my document name that fails when they enter a spec

Frank over 10 years ago

I have a text field I used in my document name that fails when they enter a special character \\ / ; : “ | ? ’ > < * when it passes through the Edit Document Properties node.
Is there some way I can restrict the use of any of these special characters through masking?...

If you are editing the document name in a previous user input task, you can validate the document name with the expression: =rule!APN_isBlank(cleanwith(ri!documentName,"\\ / ; : "" | ? ' < > *"))

If you want to just strip all of the special characters when editing the document properties, you can do: =stripwith(ri!documentName,"\\ / ; : "" | ? ' < > *")
