Hi,

What means "Value regex" , I find it in the property tool (to set properties to a property).

What are its possible values, in GOPRR example, I found : ^.+$
what does that symbols means ?

Thank you

It allows you to give a constraint in regex to say which values are accepted (e.g. 0-9), mandatory, follow a specific naming convention (e.g. first letter capital) etc.

See details in the Workbench User’s Guide (Section 2.6) and in particular the appendix on regular expressions at http://www.metacase.com/support/45/manuals/mwb/Mw-Appendix.html - http://www.metacase.com/support/45/manuals/mwb/Mw-Appendix.html .
