Flatpak has a Bug that Apps didn't start when you give them Permission to talk to a invalid D-Dbus name (flatpak/flatpak#4940). Until this is fixed, it is better to block writing invalid D-Bus names. If someone does accidental use a invalid D-Bus name for global and ignore the warning, no Flatpak App will start until the problem is solved with the Flatpak cli or the overrides file is deleted.

const {FlatsealOverrideStatus} = imports.models.overrideStatus;

  • hyphens are not allowed
  • regex can be simplified (([A-Z]|[a-z]) -> ([A-Za-z]))
  • names must not start with an digit
Suggested change
const EXP = /^(([A-Z]|[a-z]|[0-9]|_|-)+)(\.(([A-Z]|[a-z]|[0-9]|_|-)+))+(\.\*){0,1}$/;
const EXP = /^([A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_]+)(\.[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_]+)+(\.\*)?$/;

This RegEx is not from me. It is already used in Flatseal.

/* https://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-specification.html */
const EXP = /^(([A-Z]|[a-z]|[0-9]|_|-)+)(\.(([A-Z]|[a-z]|[0-9]|_|-)+))+(\.\*){0,1}$/;

It is used to display the valid icon in the D-Bus edit field. If it is wrong, it should be fixed in both places.

hypens are allowed, but just on the last segment of the name

const group = this.constructor.getGroup();
Object.entries(this._overrides).forEach(([key, value]) => {
keyFile.set_value(group, key, value);
if (this._expression.test(key)) {

For consistency, instead of doing this here, can you move this to updateFromProxyProperty? Like I do it here https://github.com/tchx84/Flatseal/blob/master/src/models/variables.js#L86

To make this better than I currently do it, how about we officially move the definition of this esoteric regexp to this model (e.g. var BUS_NAME_REGEX = ...), and then we import this constant here https://github.com/tchx84/Flatseal/blob/master/src/widgets/busNameRow.js#L28 (instead of duplicating it)
