Hi all,

Here's my custom field question. I have a field called "Test Field" that is an enumeration with the values: (select)|1|2|3|4|.
It has a default value of "(select)" with a regular expression field defined as: ^\(select\)$ to prevent the user from saving
with (select) as a value.

The field is set to required (I checked the check boxes) for Update, Resolve, and Close.

I can go the whole way through to Close and never have Mantis warn me that a required field hasn't been filled (note the
field has the "*" indicating it to be required). Is my regular expression wrong or something else?

Thanks in advance.

The regular expression is only used for string type, not for enumerations.

Is there a way to check against the enumeration?

You could write a custom validation function

or you could change the source code of MantisBT (this is easier but not recommended by me because you have to check your changes with every update of MantisBT)
