I have a playbook that creates a service on a load balancer. The users are allowed to run it and are prompted with a survey to respond with the variables that the playbook uses to build the service.

I want to force the users to follow a specific naming convention format when inputting the response to the survey.

Is there a way to specific a regex or other restrictions on their responses? If not, any ideas or experience from others on how they implemented this would be appreciated.

Thanks  
Jeremy

Not specific to awx but you can use assert to validate input variables [https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/assert\_module.html](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/assert_module.html)
