[Dillon-Brown]

Description

Duplicate of #6861 for hotfix-7.10.x to fix issue #6452. This also fixes #6893.

How To Test This

POST SuiteCRM/Api/V8/module
BODY {
  "data": {
    "type": "Accounts",
    "attributes": {
      "name": "Cocacola company",
      "description": "very friendly account"
    }
  }
}

2. Try to pass in non-valid attributes like decimals and integers to ensure that this validation is not necessary due to database sanitization.

Alternatively something like:

const REGEX_FIELD_PATTERN = '/[^\w-,\s\\.\]]/';

in attributes.php would work but I think it's unnecessary.

would work but I think it's unnecessary.

Unnecessary only if we don't want to use the slim middleware for validation. However I think much less expensive regex if you just add /.*/ or /^./ both accept everything.
