Alias #

Assign a unique rule alias for easy identification.

Value from #

Specifies the option for searching the value. Choose one of the following options:

  • Source (default): Searches for the value from the trigger source.
  • Vault Search: Searches the vault.
  • Specify: Specifies where to get the value from. If selected, additional fields are available: Static search filters for Value from, Dynamic search filters for Value from, Search results sort, Exclude source from search results.

Referenced object #

Property validation rules > Property validation rule [1] > Referenced object

Displayed only if Configuration mode within the Property validation rule is set to Advanced.

Custom error message #

Property validation rules > Property validation rule [1] > Custom error message

Displayed only if Configuration mode within the Property validation rule is set to Advanced.

Optional custom error message.
