Description

If a tag value for a field with a specified pattern does not conform to the respective regex, there should be some indication that something is off: For example in the form of a validation suggestion (#10743) and/or indication on the ui field itself.

See #10749 for an example for such a field.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Look at the schema builder pattern definition and examine how UI fields display validation. Explore existing validation suggestions in the codebase, particularly related to #10743 and #10749. Implement a visual indication when a tag value does not match the specified pattern regex.
