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.
