Interact Forms

Rules

Rules are not enforced when updating Interact Forms from Blue Prism. For example, a rule that reveals a hidden field when a flag is set, will not be initiated if the flag is set correctly when updated. If the field is not read-only, a user can click in the field and then click elsewhere in the Form to see the Rule applied.

You can use Update Config to replace some rules.

Interact Forms

Verification

Regex and other verification such as character string lengths are not enforced when updating Interact Forms from Blue Prism. If the field is not read-only a user can click in the field and then click elsewhere in the Form to see the Rule applied. No workaround available.
