Is there a way to use REGEX in jira expressions using ScriptRunner Jira Cloud?

[Anzar]

Hi,

I am trying to add a regular expression in the scripted validator in Jira Cloud for the text field with an email address.

I tried with

issue.customfield_10000 =~”^([])$”

But it is failing.

The error is:

Jira expression failed to parse: line 1, column 24: ., ?., [, ?.[, (, *, /, %, +, -, <, <=, >, >=, ==, !=, &&, ||, ??, ?, ; or EOF expected, = encountered.

I can use the native way but it doesn't allow me to add a custom error message.

I found the answer myself:

issue.customfield_10000.match('^([])$')!=null

This worked like a charm.
You can validate any regex against a custom field during a transition.

Hi @Anzar

Could you provide a little bit more information on what you want the Regex to do and where are you setting the regex to do?

Thank you and Kind regards,

I want the regex to validate if the email field has the correct value.

for example: ramkum@..

is an incorrect form of email.

ramkumar@gmail.com

is a valid email.

Hi @Anzar 

I can't tell if the regular expression is valid or not, but the error tells you that you should use "==" operator, not "=" since you compare two values.

Best regards,

Hi Alisa,

I dont want to do an equal comparison, I want to compare a regular expression with a string.
