First, thanks for creating this package-- it's just the sort of thing I need. However, there's currently no way I can see to do input validation. I know this is probably a lot of work, but even just having a "required" checkbox for each item would be very helpful. Maybe there could be a boolean "required" attribute on the XML nodes?
thanks for you input. Yes, validation is definitely something I've thought about and is at least in the top 5 of features to implement. At the moment I'm having both hands full fixing the bugs which are coming up every day, I'm pretty sure that everybody agrees that this is the top priority. I hear you loud and clear though, let me see what I can come up with next weekend...
No problem, just seemed like someone should mention validation. I think this project adds a lot of value to umbraco, and I'm grateful you've shared it with the community.
Absolutely, and it's good you brought that up, by all means! :)
Thanks for your kind words as well, very glad you like it, that makes sharing it all the better.
Might have a go at that required/validation thing today. Thought of having a tick box for required and also a textbox for a regular expression. What do you think? Obviously you can do the required part via regex as well, yet most people will probably not be that familiar with regular expressions so I though a combination of the 2 would be good.

Sounds like a plan?

That sounds like a good approach, since that's the way umbraco handles it for document type properties.
