Summary

This script runs when target date questions of a study are saved on any form. In this case, the script is expecting a format of 2 digits, a hyphen, 3 upper or lower case letters, another hyphen, and then a 4 digit year 2000 to 2099. If that format is not found, it fires an alert to the user to indicate that the response should be modified. This alert is required so the user cannot proceed without making the correction. If this is an optional format, the correction should be set to “optional”.
