Hi

@Carlos Garcia Navarro @Craig Castle-Mead Thank you for your quick response.

I found cause of this case. If put dollar character as last, code block does not work, but if i put whitespace character after dollar character like space, pattern is saving correctly.

I've just tried adding the regex above in our on-prem Jira DC (8.13.x on psql) and it saved/rendered as expected.

^(?:[A-Z]{2})?\d(15,)$

Have you tried saving a more basic version of the regex to see if that works, then expanding to see where the breaking point is?

Hi @Łukasz ,

I tried in Cloud and Server instances and when I saved the regex it didn't change the formatting:

Is this something that you see consistently when creating Jira tickets containing regex expressions? (or maybe I misunderstood)
