How to create automation trigger for if a version name contains specific text

[Aaron Opoku]

I have two version naming conventions that include text one is (main) and other is (react)

I want to create an automation that assigns all issues with a certain status to a fix version when I create a new version.

I am struggling to be able to set up the below in the automation

When version is created 

AND 

version name contains (react)

any help??

Is this what you mean?

1. You create a new version that contains react
2. Than you want to find certain issue through a JQL
3. Than take those issues and move them to the created Version

Please confirm so we can check that

[Aaron Opoku]

Yes please

I know how to do step 2 and 3, its 1 i cant figure out. 

This is the current workflow

If you click on more options in the version created trigger than you can set a regex for the name.

I did see this but genuinely have no idea how to format it in order to work the way I want

Could you help with that?

I need some example versions from you

[Aaron Opoku]

Is there no way to do it based on just containing some fixed text?

The version name is not important or in a defined format at point of creation, all that is required is (main) or (react) is in the name. When ready for release we then update the name to a version number but it still is suffixed with either (main) or (react)

I am not into regex but maybe "*REACT*" does it

doesnt work :(

I just typed in react / main and it can work like that, thanks

Hi Aaron,

I am working on some automation using version created as a trigger, but I am getting invalid regular expression error. 

I was trying to use the following to check not empty, it shows `invalid regular expression`. I tested `^\S+$` in https://regex101.com/. it is correct. But not sure using `.match()` function is right or not. Any ideas?

{{version.startDate.match("^\S+$")}}

Thanks!

Within the Version name filer box, if you want to filter description contains "React" then you can use

(?i).*React.*

the (?i) means don't care what case it is using, e.g. ReacT or reAct etc.
