Hi All,
The field validation covers Format Expression, Lists (options, static and dynamic lists), Formulas and Required fields. I don't believe it will flag a number in a text field, it will just change the behaviour of how it reads the string.
There's an update in v2.1 which enables the user to be more specific on which validations can be overridden by a user when the field is set as "Soft Validation".
Misc Paramaters, second from bottom.
Thanks
