Regular Expression for validating Not NULL / Empty in Dtb Advanced Text Input

What is the regular expression to be used for validating NOT NULL or Empty for widget Dtb Advanced Text Input in XCP 2.0

I have tried '\S+' which validates for not having just whitespaces, tab. It does not validate for empty string or null.

Let me know if someone has used this input widget for a required field. Thanks

Please consider moving this question as-is (no need to recreate) to the proper forum for maximum visibility. Questions written to the users' own "Discussions" space don't get the same amount of attention and questions can go unanswered for a long time.

You can do so by selecting "Move" under ACTIONS along the upper-right. Then search for: "Documentum" and select the first result that appears. This will relocate it to the Developer Network subspace of the Documentum community.

For validating empty strings I always use a regular text input widget and check if input != '' . this solution works great for me. You can make this check for the Dtb Advanced Text Input also.

I do so. But, this leads to move the control to server side validation when the user just has a space in the text box ' ' which should be handled at the client side.

I think if you regular text input widget and make your submit button disabled if input == '', then it will be checked at the client side in the browser.
