Validation message in Text Box

Hi Guys,

 

I'm creating a workflow with a validation message.

 

I have a Text Box Tool in my workflow, I need to insert validation when the user type string and the value in Text Box is greater than 5.

I've tried the Error Message Tool but it is not working for me. I've also tried the function CountWords(string) and it didn't work also. Thank you!

Hi @grazitti_sapna , It is working thanks!

 

But I've to insert another error message because I need validation when the user inputs non-numeric characters.

When I input more than 5 non-numeric characters the error message is something like this,

The error message in text length joined with the error message in non-numeric.

 

Is it possible to separate the error messages? Thanks!

@RichardAlt , will it be possible for you to share your sample workflow in order to replicate and work on the issue you are facing?

Thanks.

@RichardAlt , thanks for sharing the workflow as per my understanding this is happening as both the conditions are being fulfilled, please refer to the screenshot.

if you just try to validate one of the cases it will work fine else it will display both the errors, as above.

 

Thanks.

Yup, Thanks!

 

I think it is not possible to separate the error message.
