Validating the car type by using a lookup database

The rental agreement page includes the car_type field, which you can test to determine whether the field contains an allowed value.

The list of allowed car types includes the following types:

  • Compact
  • Standard
  • Full size
  • SUV
  • Other

For each car type field, you test the field value and set the field status to 1. There is a problem if the car type does not match one of the allowed types.

To use the lookup database, use these actions.
