## Default Column Validations

These validations apply to the default columns in every bulk workflow creation template.

  
| Column | Validation | Error or Warning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Name | Required field. The value must be unique for each row in the CSV. | Error |
| Tags | All tags must exist in the workspace. Enter multiple tags as a comma-separated list. | Error |

## Custom Intake Field Validations

The following validations apply to custom intake fields configured in the blueprint.

  
| Field Type | Validation | Error or Warning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| All Fields | Required fields must have a value. | Error |
| Checkbox | Value must be `true` or `false` (case insensitive). | Error |
| Currency | Value must respect the configured minimum and maximum for the field. Value must respect the number of decimals configured for the field. | Error |
| Date | Value must respect the date range configured for the field. Valid formats: MM/DD/YYYY, YYYY-MM-DD, or other date-compatible formats. | Error |
| Document | The filename must be included in the uploaded documents. File extensions must match the field options. External links are supported only if the field permits them. Document filenames can include these special characters: `!"*#$%&/()-.` New line characters aren’t allowed. | Error if required field. Warning if optional field and filename not found. |
| Email | Value must be a valid email format. | Error |
| Multi-Select | Values must match one of the configured options (case insensitive). Enter multiple values as a comma-separated list. | Error |
| Number | All characters must be numbers. Value must respect the configured minimum and maximum for the field. Value must respect the number of decimals configured for the field. | Error |
| People | Value must be a valid email format. Enter multiple emails as a semi-colon separated list. Duplicate emails in the same field aren't supported. A single value is required when the multi-value toggle is off. If the user exists in the workspace, validation passes. If the user doesn't exist and you have the required access to add users, the validation passes with a warning and the user is invited when the workflow is created. If the user doesn't exist and you don't have the access required to add users, validation fails with an error. | Warning if the user doesn't exist and you have the required access. Error if otherwise. |
| Phone | The value must be a valid phone number format. | Error |
| Role | User must have a role in the workspace. | Error |
| Select | The value must match one of the configured options (case insensitive). | Error |
| Text | Value must respect the configured minimum and maximum characters for the field. | Error |
| Workflow Owner | The user must be an internal user and must exist in the workspace. | Error |
