How do I validate special chars?

The Textbox and Textarea form components can have validation rules assigned to them in order to restrict the type of the submitted data.

In this article we will be referring to the Alpha, Numeric and Alphanumeric validation rules. Special characters are not validated with these rules by default, but they can be added as follows:

Add you special characters in this field separated by space, as shown in the picture:
