I am new to using Nintex Forms and I’d like to be able to invalidate user entries if they meet a certain criteria (i.e. if entry is in the form of a letter and number (X1, X2, X3, etc)) How can I create a rule to do so?

Hi
I think it would be easier to to write a rule around the format you want and not the format you don’t want.
In a control’s configuration you can set the validation to regular expression and then write a regular expression to match the format you want. Anything outside of that would error.

Do you know which version of Nintex forms you are using?
For the older forms designers it would be done by adding in a rule on the control you would like to validate, you would then build a formula to match the criteria you need, for example. contains(‘x’)
For the newer forms designers there is a section in the rules designer for form validation that is much better and can apply much more complex logic.
Let me know which version you have and I will try provide more detailed steps.
