Validate AutoComplete value to List retrieved by LoadACtivity
SA-2780
Summary
- We have an auto complete control configured
- OnChange: Refresh Section
- Data Source Type: Activity
- Search Property applies to: Class
- Additional fields: 6 fields
- When the user selects an entry from the list, the other fields are populated to give him confirmation that what he selected is correct.
- After that, the user can enter whatever he likes into the AutoComplete field and is able to submit the flow.
We need a way to restrict the PropertyValue to a value contained in the AutoComplete list.
Error Messages
N/A
Steps to Reproduce
Configure auto complete control approach as described.
Root Cause
Auto complete control working as expected.
Resolution
AutoComplete control is designed to provide a set of choices as guidance but not validate against them i.e. the user may choose to enter their own value. Effectively, we can say it is a smarter text box.
There is no OOTB validation rule for AutoComplete control. So, you need to write separate validation rules or validation activities to restrict the user to entering only values retrieved by the AutoComplete control.
