I need to create a custome type contains String Field this field has a constraints to allow only wri

i try this with Integer type using this constraints:

(len (account_no > 6)) AND (len (account_no < 10)) AND NOT (account_no = 0)

but the INTEGER field come in the form with Default Value 0 so i used AND NOT (account_no = 0).

when i test the validation with the Default value 0 and click Next the validation doesn`t work.

but when i remove the Default value 0 and re type 0 again the validation work on constraints NOT (account_no = 0) and when i write numbers more than or less than the constraints (len (account_no > 6)) AND (len (account_no < 10)) the validation work.

is this BUG in the Documentum or what?

I'm guessing the validation doesnt get triggered unless the user enters a value (like on_change event in javascript). Why do you need to default the value to 0?

I think the Content Server will automatically store a value of 0 if the user doesnt enter anything since the data type is integer.

thanks johnny for reply,

i`m guessing like you also,

and i don`t need the default value to be 0 i said "that the field on the application come with default value 0", and the validation skip the 0 although i marked the attribute cannot be blank and make constraints NOT (account_no = 0)

my problem is why the application skip the validation on 0 value (which come default from application) in the first time? Is this BUG or what?

and how can i do this but using STRING field ineasted of INTEGER?

What do you mean "field on the application come with default value 0"? Are you talking about the default value field for the attribute on the data dictionary or are you saying that your application is setting the value to 0? If the you are talking about default value field, then you can remove this value.

this field in (custome type: folder type) and when i create new folder the field account No. come with value 0 because it is INTEGER type and i can remove the 0 easy.

but when i keep the 0 "default value",to test the validation it must fire the validation because, i make the constraints NOT (account_no = 0).

but when i remove the 0 and rewrite it again 0, to test the constraints and the validation here the validation work.

What application and version are you using to create folder? Also, please post screen shot of the attribute definition for your custom folder type (eg from Composer or App Builder).

taskspace 6.6

see attribute in taskspace come with 0.

What happens if you uncheck "cannot be blank"? Your constraint will catch a non-entered value, so the only impact is that the * will not be marked next to the textbox.
