Restrict characters in text input field

Hi guys, hoping someone can help.

I have a requirement to restrict / and | in an input field. Is it possible to do this or somehow fire a notification notifying the user that these are illegal characters?

Cheers,
Mark

    You can't really limit characters during input, but you could use a REGEX expression in an isMatch() function to validate the input and display an error label if it doesn't match.
