Automation for Jira - list of matcher commands?

[David Loszewski]

Hello,

Are the list of matcher commands anywhere for Automation for Jira?   ie.  issues.summary.match(<match string>).first, what else can I use with match other than first?   I wasn't able to find a list anywhere in the documentation.

Thank you.

Against what type of field are you trying to assess a match?

This page concerns text fields:

This page concerns list fields

Hi @Trudy Claspill -- It appears those links have changed to:

• https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/smart-values-text-fields/
• Follow the link to the Oracle documentation on Java for Pattern Class, for the regular expression information...although it appears that the automation rule implementation of Reg Ex does not always exactly match that spec.  ;^)
• https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/smart-values-lists/

Hi @David Loszewski -- And to add onto Trudy's ideas, the list functions sometimes work like functions and sometimes like properties.  Please look here for more on list-related split() behavior:
