The request and response will look the same as the specific validation types.

Response for Type and Quantity

The generic online validator does have an extra feature when it comes to the Collector Step TypeAndQuantity step , which allows the backend to return a new display name for the scanned value.
So instead of e.g. displaying a serial number, the item number or a human-readable name can be displayed on the control.
Notice that the display value (TypeDisplay) needs to contain all the information.
