    Hi @Rui_128071,
    Thanks for you question. I agree that this looks like a bug. We'll check it out and fix as soon as possible. In the meantime, I've tested a different expression that should do the same thing. Does this expression satisfy your use case as well?

    this.slice(0, 2) == 'PO'

    Thanks,
    Tom

    Hi @Rui_128071,

    We recently resolved the issue that was preventing the "startsWith" expression from working in this case. Your expression (startsWith("PO", this)) will now match any value that begins with the text "PO" as expected. You may need to refresh the page in order to see the update.

    Thanks again for reaching out about the issue. I'm really sorry for the inconvenience.
    Nate

    Hi @Nate_214344,
    Thank you to resolved the problem.
    Now, I found another issue with "endsWith". Maybe is the similar issue, if you can see this I appreciate so much.
    Thanks,

    Hi @Rui_128071,
    Would you mind telling me more about the issue you're seeing with the "endsWith" expression? That one was affected by the same issue you saw with "startsWith", but should have been resolved at the same time. An expression like this endsWith("@catalytic.com", this), for instance, would require the user to enter an email address ending in "@catalytic.com".
    Thanks,
    Nate

    Hi @Nate_214344,

    Yesterday when I answered my "endsWith" did not work (the same error message appears). But today it is working without any error.
    Problem resolved.
    Thanks,
    Rui

    Hello Catalytic Team:
    I've got a similar issue with validation. I have a webform field (Integer), where I need the user to enter a 5-digit number. I set validations as Minimum = 5; Maximum = 5. This should require a 5-digit numerical entry (I think), except when I test it, I get an error saying that it Should be <= 5. Any suggestions?

    Here's the build mode window for the action:

    Here's the test mode window where I keyed my entry:

    Hi @Jeff_182127, not sure if you're still stuck on this one. I haven't tested this, but I have a hunch on what's going on.

    The min/max validation refers to the value of the integer, not the number of digits. So the way you have it configured, I think you're asking for an integer between 5 and 5 (i.e., 5 itself). If you want a 5 digit integer, I think you should set min = 10000 and max = 99999. Keep in mind this wouldn't allow something starting with a 0, so this might only get you part way there if leading zeros are needed.

    Thanks, @Tom_944137 ! I did end up realizing that it's looking for the value rather than # of digits. We do have employee numbers with leading zeros, so I had to set it with 0 as the min and 99999 as the max. It's working well now. I appreciate your confirmation!
