I'm working on a Nintex Form template. We have a text field where people are accidently including numbers. There will never be a need for this particular field to include a number. Is there a way to achieve this?

 

e.g., 'Hello' should validate OK

but 'Hell0' should display an error.

    Hi Brian

    You can use a regular expression for validation:

    ^[^d]+$

    • ^ assert position at start of the string
    • [^d]+ match a single character not present in the list below
      • Quantifier: + Between one and unlimited times, as many times as possible, giving back as needed [greedy]
      • d match a digit [0-9]
    • $ assert position at end of the string

    Kind regards

    Manfred

    Hi Manfred,

    This is fantastic and works in the Desktop layout of a form. Unfortunately I've not been able to get it to work on the Nintex Mobile version of a form. Any suggestions?

    Regards,

    Brian
