Validators
Foundry Forms is no longer the recommended approach for data entry or writeback workflows on Foundry. Instead, build user input workflows with the Foundry Ontology, representing the relevant data structures as object types and configuring the writeback interaction with Actions. Learn more in the Forms overview documentation.
In Foundry Forms, each form field can have one or more validators to guard against malformed input. Some examples of validators are:
- Regex: Value must match some regular expression ↗.
- Required: Value must be filled.
- Range: Value must be between
minandmaxvalues.
The respondent will not be able to submit the form until all validator criteria is met.
