Replacement of domain in issue creator's email address not working in Jira automation rule

Question

"I'm trying to use the smart value {{issue.creator.emailAddress.replace(/@.+$/, '@domain.org')}} in a Jira automation rule to replace the domain of the creator's email address. However, the smart value doesn't seem to be working as expected. I'm using this in a rule triggered by issue creation. Can anyone help me troubleshoot this issue?"

I see this error in audit log

Error rendering smart-values when executing this rule:Failed to get value for issue.creator.emailAddress.replace(/@.+$/, '@domain.org'): {{issue.creator.emailAddress.replace(/@.+$/, '@domain.org')}}

Thank you for your reply, but I got the error

Error rendering smart-values when executing this rule:
Failed to get value for issue.creator.emailAddress.replaceAll("\@.+", "@domain.org": {{issue.creator.emailAddress.replaceAll("\@.+", "@domain.org"}}

Hey there,

So, replace is for (String, String) https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#replace%28java.lang.CharSequence,%20java.lang.CharSequence%29

If you'd like to utilise regex, then you'll need replaceAll. 
Also, don't forget to escape characters, this should do what you are after -> {{issue.creator.emailAddress.replaceAll("\@.+", "@domain.org"}}
