Hi @Søren Hansen

For Jira Cloud automation rules, please see this documentation for the match() function and its use of regular expressions:

https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-smart-values-text-fields/#match--

The match() function returns a list of matches.  To access a specific one, please use the get() function for a list:

Kind regards,
Bill

According to documentation on regex and Jira, you needn't escape the curved brackets::
