 Hi all,

You can use the fields.char object

There is no default type, but there are two ways to do:

1. Difficult: you can either create a new field by inheriting fields.char and making your new type and i think the changes should follow in clients also. (Use only if you will repeatedly need it)

2. Easy: build a constraint and validate that the content is Alpha numeric using regular expressions

Can you help with this problem?
