Static Content Values and Wildcards

Hey there.

Working on my first app. One of the User Input Values on a Parameter is the two-letter designation for states.

The ASM has recognized the Parameter Value Type as Static. In this case, I know the listing will always be two letters representing the state abbreviations.

Is there a way to wildcard this (know it is a little bit less secure) so that I do not have to enter all 50 state abbreviations as static values?

Thanks for any help…

Yes, you can change the parameter type value to be “user-input” and limit the length to 2 bytes.

You probably won’t lose any security because of that.

You could also limit the parameter value to two alpha characters using a regex:

[a-z][a-z]

or for upper and lowercase letters:

[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z]
