Suite ‘Validate Property’ Bug
I found the following with IS 2013. Presumably the same for IS 2014, although I don’t have that system running right now.
Password Box Control (did not try Text Box or Rich Text Box)
Validate
Value Length
Min 6
Max 32
This works just fine if there are no backspaces entered.
Suppose the user enters 8 characters and backspaces over 1. The property will be the correct 7 characters. Fine.
Now suppose you enter 8 characters and backspace over 3 or more of them. The property will be incorrect as it contains the first 6 characters! The last character should have been removed via backspace, leaving 5 characters. Furthermore, it passes validation!
Can someone at Flexera look into this? Do I need to file a support incident?
Thanks!

Validation prevents invalid values from being stored back to the property, so I think this is working as designed. Whether it's a useful design, however, is questionable.
I assume the real problem here is that the Next button allows you to continue despite an invalid password being in the password box. Perhaps you can set an Enabled condition on the next box that includes a check for the PASSWORDPROP:valid property.
