How to apply errormessage for itemfield validation

Hi,

I am creating an item through the API and want to apply a validation to the itemfields in my item. I can see that it's possible to apply two types of validation attributtes: "RegExAttributte" and "RequiredAttribute". But I can not see how to apply an errormessage to these types of validation or how to apply an errormessage if using the attributte "ValidateAttributte". Isn't this possible?

Hello Lars Larsen!
At this moment, there is no possibility to add an error message via attribute.

You can only add a validator like this:

        Dim field = New ItemField()
        field.Validators = New ValidatorMetadataCollection()

        Dim validator = New ValidatorMetadata()
        validator.TypeName = Extensibility.AddInManager.GetAssemblyQualifiedName(GetType(RequiredAttribute))
        validator.ErrorMessage = "This field is required"

        field.Validators.Add(validator)
