Parameters

The type Can be set to "warning" or "reject". By default the type is "warning".

The comparerType Can be set to "greaterThan", "lessThan", "between", "equalTo", "notEqualTo", "greaterThanOrEqualTo", "lessThanOrEqualTo", "notBetween" or "custom".

The dataType Can be set to "date", "text", "number", "list" or "custom".

The from This key holds formula or value. Used as first or only compare value depending on specified comparer.

The to This key can be set to formula or value. It's optional depending on the specified comparer.

The allowNulls Can be set to boolean value.

The messageTemplate The message which will be displayed in the "reject" validation window.

The titleTemplate The title of the "reject" validation window.
