DefaultUIComponentValidator and coupling

I have a simple validator that I am writing to add some business logic to Part and Document creation. I need to limit names to 40 characters (thank you SAP) and I do not want to touch DB. This is more of a guideline for users. Obviously, there are many ways that Parts and Docs

Thanks to Patrick Williams who pointed out in 10.x, this is configurable. Temp customization at best, oh well...

I've id some validation keys but I am stumped on others. The two are multi-object rename and paste as a copy. Does anyone know how I can discover the validation keys to hook into these actions?

Multi-object rename is trigged when you rename a Cad Doc and the interface appears allowing you to add more items, like a WTPart to the collection. Assumed it was "MULTIRENAME" but does not seem to work. I suspect that this is still using template processors. Does that mean that a validator will not work in this case?

The second is paste as a copy. This is triggered when you copy a few parts and click the Paste icon. An interface appears to make copies of the parts by changing name and number. Assumed it was "pasteAsCopy" but does not seem to work. Tried using jcaDebug but this trial and error. Any thoughts?

Antonio,

Did you ever get your validator working?I am now delving into UI validators and am facing some challenges "hooking up" my validator to the "Finish" click of the Create Change Task Wizard. Do you know what action I need to use and how to register my validator? I did find that in 10.x you can enable a "Customization" button through the Site preference "Client Customization -> Client Customization" = yes. This creates a new button in the Navigator for customization examples and tools. Click Tools->Action to search for available actions.
