Validation of work item summary on create

[Richard A. Michaels]

I need the Summary of the work item to match a specific format.

The format is a 3 field format delimited by the vertical bar (|).  Each field has a specific meaning but can contain any characters except the delimiter itself.  All three fields must contain characters and can start or end with a space.  I'm not very good with regex and Revo Agent didn't seem to provide me an answer which properly worked with the Regular Expression Check Validator.

Here's the format of the string:
Field #1 | Field #2 | Field #3

Hi @Richard A. Michaels

Thanks for the question!

In the workflow, on the create transition, add a validator type of "Regular Expression Check" validator and try this reg-ex for the field Summary.

^[^|]+\|[^|]+\|[^|]+$

Thank you @Gor Greyan
I need to run through several test for the conventions we use.  My initial basic test have worked as expected.
