Special Syntax
Certain text fields in REX must meet special syntax requirements as follows:
    - The text field should be within 40 characters.
    - It must not be void.
    - It must not be a duplicated name.
REX recognizes if these rules are violated and renames the fields to meet these requirements. REX also attempts to prevent duplicates in names by appending numeric suffixes to duplicated names.
