[DOCS]: Regex for title validation used in createDraftListing isn't enough.

[SrdjanPaunovic]

Is there an existing issue for this?

What would you like to change?

Can you provide a valid regex that we can use for title validation on our end? Provided regex in the documentation for createDraftListing is not covering everything.

Why are you proposing this change?

I am getting errors while calling createDraftListing with an irregular title (that I don't know how to validate properly).

@SrdjanPaunovic We aren't able to debug this without some more info.

First, what is the title you are attempting to set?
Second, what error(s) are you getting when trying to create the listing?

[SrdjanPaunovic]

1.Example

Title: Èxample titlé
I'm getting this validation error message: You cannot include any of the following characters: $^`.

2.Example

Tilte: AD AD AD AD
I'm getting this validation error message: Your title cannot contain more than 3 all capital words.

In documentation we only have this regex: /[^\p{L}\p{Nd}\p{P}\p{Sm}\p{Zs}™©®]/u which is not covering every situation you validating on your site.

@SrdjanPaunovic We are still tracking this for a resolution. We are closing the issues board in favor of the discussions board, so I'll convert this now to a new discussion.

@etsyachristensen - Thank you for transferring my issue to a discussion topic.

Issue #622 also included changes for API endpoints that returned an array rather than a JSON object. I also requested that the docs clearly state which API endpoints return an array rather than a javascript object.

I also suggested that instead of returning an array, it should return something similar to this:

{"error":"unable to update listing","error_list":[{"path":"\/title\/1","type":"invalid_characters","message":"contains invalid characters"}]}
