Hi All

I have a FnL template with a "Time" datacolumn.  If I enter "10:10 AM" into the field, the record can be saved ok.

If I add the following simple regex validation:

^((([0]?[1-9]|1[0-2])(:|\.)[0-5][0-9]((:|\.)[0-5][0-9])?( )?(AM|am|aM|Am|PM|pm|pM|Pm))|(([0]?[0-9]|1[0-9]|2[0-3])(:|\.)[0-5][0-9]((:|\.)[0-5][0-9])?))$

That same time value cannot be saved.   This is odd, this Regex will happily recognise "10:10 AM" and FnL will save ok using that value.

Why won't FnL save when a valid Regex is used to validate the time field ???? Am I doing something daft or is this a bug.  Has anyone got a Regex expression that they have used sucessfully in a FnL "Time" column.

Cheers - Guy

The Type Time already ensures that the input is a valid time. Afterwards the time is transfered from UserTime to ServerTime, and then returned with ToString("s") into a Sortable date/time pattern, which is needed to support localization to any language.

The regex expression is applied to that string, not to your input directly. You can still write some regex which could prevent certain times, for example before 08:00 AM

Thanks Stefan,

that makes sense but our users do seem to struggle with getting the format right.  Is it possible to make the UI for the time datatype, a bit more user friendly, maybe Hr & Min drop downs ????

Cheers - Guy
