Value does not match the chosen validator using Custom RegExp

[JesterOC (Jessie OC)]

I was testing Custom RegExp and while it does notice that i tried adding : (an unallowed by my custom regexp)

the “Value does not match the chosen validator” issue doesn’t go away (after deleting the : symbol from display name) and also spread to other DisplayNames I clicked upon while trying to resolve the issue. F5 didn’t clear the issue also.

Was trying with / ^ [ ^ : ; ] + $ / (added spaces so doesn’t get autoformatted)

Explanation:
[^:;] → any character except : or ;

• → one or more allowed characters

(to allow all but : and but i might have better luck being inclusive rather than trying to exclude

Could you share any details? For example:

• What does the regular expression look like?
• What is the column data type
• What does the API call look like when you insert or update the data?

Any [uncropped] screenshots are always helpful too.

I was just trying to update from the backendless webpage. didn’t try data update calls

Could you show how you configured it on the SCHEMA tab?

The problem still persists after changing regexp expression to
/ ^ [ A - Z a - z 0 - 9 _ - ] + $ /
(added spaces for clarity again)

You need to remove the slashes - they are not part of RegExp:
