The aspect is like this:</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>&lt;aspect name="oaciqdt:aspectNumsPermis"&gt;</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp; &lt;title&gt;License numbers&lt;/title&gt;</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp; &lt;properties&gt;</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;property name="oaciqdt:numsPermis"&gt;</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;type&gt;d:text&lt;/type&gt;</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;multiple&gt;true&lt;/multiple&gt;</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;constraints&gt;</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;constraint name="oaciqdt:numsPermisREGEX" type="REGEX"&gt;</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;parameter name="expression"&gt;&lt;value&gt;[A-Za-z]{1}[0-9]{4}&lt;/value&gt;&lt;/parameter&gt;</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;parameter name="requiresMatch"&gt;&lt;value&gt;true&lt;/value&gt;&lt;/parameter&gt;</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;/constraint&gt;</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;/constraints&gt;</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;/property&gt;</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp; &lt;/properties&gt;</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&lt;/aspect&gt;</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>So in short, if oaciqdt:numsPermis is empty, I don't want the validation to occur, but if the value is not empty, the regex should be run.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Looking at the documentation, I don't see how you can define a property to validate only if a value is present, and I don't see how we can make the aspect to be conditional if the value is empty.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Any tricks?</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 26 Mar 2013 14:26:42 GMT probert 2013-03-26T14:26:42Z Conditional aspects? https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/conditional-aspects/m-p/293588#M246718 Hi,I have a document model like this;&lt;type name="oaciqdt:docLfermAssist"&gt;&nbsp; &lt;title&gt;lferm-assist&lt;/title&gt;&nbsp; &lt;parent&gt;oaciqdt:docAssistanceSyndic&lt;/parent&gt;&nbsp; &lt;mandatory-aspects&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;aspect&gt;oaciqdt:aspectIntervenant&lt;/aspect&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;aspect&gt;oaciqdt:aspectIdent Tue, 26 Mar 2013 14:26:42 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/conditional-aspects/m-p/293588#M246718 probert 2013-03-26T14:26:42Z Re: Conditional aspects? https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/conditional-aspects/m-p/293589#M246719 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hi,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>this cannot be done using the regular constraints, this is true. What you could do is register a policy that will trigger whenever a node property changes, there you can check whatever you want in regular Java code.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>See here to get you started: </SPAN><A href="http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Policy_Component" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Policy_Component</A><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Cheers,</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Michael</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 26 Mar 2013 17:40:09 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/conditional-aspects/m-p/293589#M246719 michaelböckling 2013-03-26T17:40:09Z
