Regular Expression Match against custom field values

[nmelnick@…]

It would be handy to add an option to the Trac Custom Fields feature that allows a regular expression match string as a sanity check against a custom field. As some fields require the flexibility of text input, but within certain parameters that a SELECT field doesn't offer, this could be very handy. The match string would just have to evaluate to true if the field works.

I did a few searches and didn't see anything like this — please enlighten me if otherwise. I could attempt to look at a patch if there is interest, though I haven't worked with Python before.

Suggestion for implementation:

[ticket-custom]
test_date_field = text
test_date_field.label = Test a Date
test_date_field.value = 
test_date_field.match = /\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}/

Trac will soon have customisable WorkFlow which will allow this kind of feature.
