How to restrict all special characters in “Project Name” field on request form?

[himabi6]

We’re currently using validation logic in Workfront to block certain special characters in the Project Name field on a request form. However, maintaining a list of every disallowed character is not scalable, and users are still finding creative ways to enter unintended characters.

We’re looking for a solution to restrict all special characters, ideally using a broader pattern or rule, rather than validating each one manually.

Has anyone implemented a global validation (maybe through Fusion, custom API, or smarter field logic) that restricts project names to only letters, numbers, spaces, and maybe a few approved symbols (e.g. dashes or underscores)?

Any guidance or example logic would be super helpful.

You could use fusion to remove special characters when they are used. You can use the Text Parser - Replace to do it
