Summary

Error Messages

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create an Email property and use the out-of-the-box 'ValidEmailAddress' Validation rule. At runtime, the email validates only abc@ xyz and not [email protected]
2. Add the email property in a table. The error messages display as a tooltip.

Root Cause

Resolution

1. Create a EditValidate rule with the below code,
   
   if (theValue == null || theValue.trim().equals("")) return false;
   try {
               javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress emailAddr = new javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress(theValue);
               emailAddr.validate();
    }
   catch (javax.mail.internet.AddressException ex){
      return false;
   }
   if(theValue.contains("."))
       return true;
    
   theProperty.addMessage("Enter a Valid Email Address");
   return false;
    
2. For client side validation, use 'Post Value' for onchange event of the property outside the grid or add the below script in UserWorkForm,

   <script>
   var ruleEditValidate_validEmail = new validation_ValidationType("validMail", ruleEditValidate_isValidEmail);
       ruleEditValidate_validEmail.addEventFunction("onchange", ruleEditValidate_isValidEmail);
     
     function ruleEditValidate_isValidEmail(object) {

       var x = pega.control.PlaceHolder.getValue(object);
       if (null == x || "" == x) {
           return;
       }
       // Regular expression for email address
       // RFC822 regular expression
       var emailReg = /^\w+@[a-zA-Z_]+?\.[a-zA-Z]+$/;
       var validMail = emailReg.test(x);
       if (!validMail) {
           return display_getValidationError(object, ruleEditValidate_isValidEmailAddressMsgStr, "", true);
       }
   }
   </script>
   
   Note: ValidMail (Mentioned in above script) is the custom Edit Validate rule created. The above script is required to validate the property inside the grid.

For Issue 2:

For the error message to display in the grid, include the Email property control in a section in the grid Cell properties.
