+Custom configuration can be added to registered renderers (@since CzechIdM 10.8.0) - use ''AbstractFormAttributeRenderer'' on backend to define additional renderer properties.

 {{tag>validation}}
+For form attribute values is possible to configure prepared validations. Validation are evaluated (**on the backend**), when form with extended attributes is saved and sent to backend. Simple validations as ''required'', ''min'', ''max'' are evaluated on frontend after value is changed.
-==== Regex ====
+<note important>Validations are suported for single attribute values only for now (feature request [[https://redmine.czechidm.com/issues/1874|#1874]]).</note>
+=== Required ===
+Value is required.
+=== Unique ===
+Value has to be unique.
+<note info>Unique validation is not supported for ''BYTEARRAY'' and ''ATTACHMENT'' persistent types.</note>
+=== Min, Max ===
+Value has to be greater than (lesser than) or equal given ''min'' (''max'') values. Real number (38,4) can be configured.
+<note info>Min and max validation is supported for numeric ''DOUBLE'', ''INT'', ''LONG'' persistent types.</note>
+=== Regex ===
 Value has to match given regular expression ([[https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html|java pattern]] is used).
