Is there a way to stop users pasting into a description type field a formatted URL


Karen Steele (1.2k4139148) | asked Jan 19, 2:42 p.m.
We are doing data migration from one system to another.  To long a story to say why we are exporting out and back in but we came across an issue with links in description fields that are formatted.

e.g. raw URL is https://server/x/document for example but the user is pasting it into the system as Document Reference ABC

When you export out to csv, the Document Reference ABC becomes plain text and the link is lost.

Is there an advanced property in CCM that can prevent pasting of formatted URLs ?

The best you could do is to add a regular expression or script based Validator that checks the content for URLs. This would prevent a save if the content contained one
