Hi Isomorphic,
I have a usecase (current 5.0p) where I want to disallow a specific value used for internal matters to be entered in the UI and saved to the DB.
This value is case-insensitive. As it is just one value I can use the approach you showed here.
But in general support for RegExp modifiers (client and server, most likely realised differently) would be nice.
See this client-only example and the screenshot:
I do not know what exactly happens with the first validator, it seems to reject any value, although I think it should work with respect to the Mozilla JavaScript docs (I'm testing in FF26 dev mode). This might be a bug (not necessarily in your product), but not an important one as the same validator applied in a .ds.xml-file would definitely not work on the server side because of the different syntax.
So for the enhancement you would need a different RegExpValidator constructor taking also the modifiers and apply them accordingly to each implementation on the client and on the server.
As I can work around this need with character sets this enhancement has no priority for me.
Best regards
