As per the code in the edit validate rule "isBlank" what I can interpret is it will check whether the value in the property is empty or not.
But my guess is you are confused with the comment in code /history contetnt of the rule which was wrongly saved as from another rule.Please ignore it.

Hi Kodup,
I can understand that the edit validate rule will throw an error "Cannot be Empty" if i left the property value unfilled. But in my case it's not throwing the error. That's why i wanted to know the purpose of it.

Hi Dinesh,
Instead of using IsBlank edit validate rule, you can make it as required field right.

Hello Dinesh,
Thanks for posting your query on PSC.
From the Validate rule 'isBlank', I see that this rule checks if the specified string is a valid class name.
Refer the below Java source of this rule:
/*
* Class names are made up of 'words' which are identifiers, separated by single hyphens.
* Identifiers-start with an alpha character and have alphanumerics in the rest, underscore is also allowed but seldom used.
* valid: this-is-a-class
* valid: this-class-is-number_1
* invalid: this-1-is-invalid
*/
boolean isValid = (theValue.length()>0);
if (!isValid)
{
theProperty.addMessage("Cannot be Blank.");
}
return isValid;
PS: My observation is from Pega 7.1.8.
I hope this answers your query.
Regards,
Rincy

Hi Rincy,
theValue.lenght()>10 - This checks whether the length of the "theValue" is grater than zero.
And there are not Specific pattern validation rules found in this code so where is it getting validated.
Can you please help me in understanding that.
Thanks and Regards,

Hello Dinesh,
Apologies for delay in response.
Unfortunately, I did not find answer to the query raised 'where is it getting validated?'. Someone else would surely share their thoughts over here.
