New “regular expression” Attribute Type

[rabuono]

As discussed in the Staff Exchange (May 6th 2021) As a member of a project in SEEK, I want to be able to restrict accepted input values of an Attribute based on a regular expression. The regular expression is provided by the User when creating the Attribute. The User input regular expression would only apply to the Sample Type in which the Attribute is created in.

Example: An attribute type with the regular expression “ \b[0-9][0-9][0-9]\b ” can only accept values that are numbers between 000 and 999.

A new Attribute Type “regular expression” is preferred.
