Form Response Validation
not on the roadmap
ForgottenGlory
Would love to see form response validation, similar to what Google Forms has with their ability to validate a text field by matching to RegEx.
For example, Username#1234 would match .+#[\d]{4} and the user wouldn't be able to submit the form unless the text input matches the RegEx pattern.

There are 2 reasons I still use other software and not only ClickUp.
One of them is the inability to use REGEX to validate data. It is extremely useful and I cannot understand why there are so few votes on this functionality. It would be great to control the data's quality from the beginning, saving time, reducing errors, improving the flow of work, and much more!

Thanks for this feedback, ForgottenGlory! Is the idea here that only specific values would be permitted for text fields, depending on some other conditional criteria? Just want to make sure I'm capturing this appropriately.

Caroline Ginty: That's correct. We collect bug reports from users and want to be able to collect their Discord usernames as that's the platform we use to primarily communicate with our users. At the moment we use a text field where we ask users to input their username, but it isn't perfect because the text field allows any text to be input. However, to ensure we're reaching out to the correct person, the Discord username has to match the exact pattern of Username#1234 where Username can be any text, the # is literal, and the 1234 can be any four digits.
Regular Expression matching would allow us to filter the input of that field so that whatever the user inputs must match the standard pattern for a Discord username.
I'm sure there are other ways RegEx could be used to validate text outside of our use case, but username format matching is the primary motivator for my request.
