Data validation in a skill when data source is a list uploaded from excel/csv

Hi Team,


We would like to see an data validation option provided for a list data uploaded through an excel file.

Following are the possible validations that could warn user when an incorrect is being uploaded

  1. Validation during file upload: A skill should error out during the file upload

  2. Apply slot logic for list input: Based on the WxO documentation, the slot logic doesn't support complex objects like a list input for validation.

  3. Highlight Error through field verification: Highlight the errors cells in red or with a message to the user as soon as a file is uploaded

Adding few more details to the list:

Below features missing following features

1. Bulk upload using template:

There is a disconnect between template columns which are defined based on property names and the download of table content is based on Column name defined within on the user screen.

Expected functionality: Match the download column name same as the template column names or viceversa

2. Template feature needs to improve:

Validation is limited to missing field data and new additional fields added into the template

Expected functionality: Expland the validation to datatype and ability to ignore additional or invalid columns


I have attached the validation references

Regards,

Pavan Vepa
