Validate a field

[#1]

Hi

We are trying to validate a field in VC UI.

Validation required is the entered value should be part of an output list of a webservice executed.

In detail: a webservice is executed at page load which returns a plant list.

Now when a user fills in the field for plant input, it should not allow any value which is not returned by the webservice.

I am trying to use the validate field option at the bottom of the layout for the field properties.

But no clue on how to use this service, not triggering it every time a value is entered.

I missed to mention the actual challenge. The webservice returns 18 digits value whereas the user will enter only 9 digits teh rest have to padded with '0's and it should not be visible to the user either, i.e., we cant convert the value in the text box or list box to 18 digit for further use. We have to temperorily convert them to 18 digits only to verify if the code exists in the list.

How about the drop down box? Why don't you use this? Is there a special reason?
