Version: Windchill 12.1

 

Use Case: Good day I am a newbie and I am trying to create a new attribute under "Type and Attribute Management Utility" where it has multiple values in one line. For example, it must read XXX-XXXX-XXXX-XX-XX when I run a report and the input when creating a new part must have 5 blocks(fields) in a row separated by a dash. Please give suggestions.

Hi @Markh74 

You can try to use a constraint String format for your String attribute or Regular Expression

Attribute Constraint Rules

Constraints Tab

 

try String format syntax as CCC-CCCC-CCCC-CC-CC

or

Regular expression syntax as ...-....-....-..-..

    @Markh74 

     

    You gave a pattern of XXX-XXXX-XXXX-XX-XX

    I have two questions:

    • Is X any uppercase alpha character or is this case insensitive?
    • Can X be a number?

    Either way I'd use a regex constraint as @HelesicPetr has already mentioned.

     

    FYI String Format constraint is a holdover from previous Windchill versions.  PTC recommends using Regex for new constraints.
