Removing the /i doesn't do anything unfortunately - I read the handbook page too and thought it should work.
They use this to check for any string using alphanumeric characters + dashes + underscores; [0-9a-zA-Z_-] So I would have though that using [a-zA-Z] would work for just upper and lowercase letters. Just so I'm not doing anything stupid, everytime I update the validation in the model and upload it, I then delete what ever files are in the /app/tmp/cache/models directory - is there anything else I need to do.
