Constraints doesn't work in workflows

riogrande

Hi all,

I'm making an advanced workflow in which there is a simple task with one field to fill. I put a constraint on it. At the beginning I was thinking that I did something wrong, because I was able to put whatever I wanted. But I find out that if I press the "Save Change" button I have the wanted message (warning about the incorrect input).

So is there a way to have the constraint check before the workflow goes to the next step ?

In your workflow model, make sure, that the constraint gets applied to the field:
<property name="xy:TextField"> <type>d:text</type>
<constraints> <constraint ref="xy:Constraint_For_TextField" /> </constraints>
</property>

yes it is set :

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<type name="afwf:checkCodeOut">
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<parent>afwf:changableStatus</parent>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<mandatory-aspects>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<aspect>afwf:borrowCheckOut</aspect>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</mandatory-aspects>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</type>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<constraints>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<constraint ref="af:numericCode" />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<constraint ref="af:itemCodeLenght" />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</constraints>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</property>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

and the two constraints that works perfectly when adding files

(are in an other model, and Yes I imported the "af" model to my workflow model)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<constraint name="af:numericCode" type="REGEX">
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<parameter name="expression"><value>[0-9]*</value></parameter>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<parameter name="requiresMatch"><value>true</value></parameter>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</constraint>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<constraint name="af:itemCodeLenght" type="LENGTH">
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<parameter name="minLength"><value>7</value></parameter>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<parameter name="maxLength"><value>7</value></parameter>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</constraint>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

So as I said, the mandatory aspect works in any cases. But the constrain Length works only if in press "Save change" and ht Regex doesn't work at all.

I've never tried to use the types of LENGTH or REGEX. Maybe you could try to use the type "text" in an additional constraint or by changing an existing type - through it you could find, if it's a problem with your configuration (problem persists) or with the special types of constraints you're using.
