Hi Sharada,

This is not so much a bug as a feature request, aka Blueprint. It is a
sensible request, and Jason has raised it before. Please see if you want to
add something to the discussion here:

https://blueprints.launchpad.net/dhis2/+spec/regex-validation
https://lists.launchpad.net/dhis2-devs/msg05143.html

However, I would like to remind you to please test if it is still the case
in 2.13 - as we are not going to make any additions to 2.11.

Knut

Subject: [Dhis2-devs] [Bug 1247890] [NEW] New field type required to ensure
the format of the data
To: dhis2-devs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


Public bug reported:

There doesn’t seem to be a way to check the structure of each field
beyond field type (number, text, date). For example, ensuring ANC number
is formatted as ###/##/## or is a particular length. Validation rule
does not allow users to create an expression which checks if the input
is well-formed or has a particular format-type.

DHIS Live Version: 2.11
