How to restrict special symbols like @,#,$,% etc in Jira. I have Scriptrunner but can't seem to find the correct validator. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi @Hector Hood  In this case you can use Script Runner REGEX validator for this, apply below code. It wont allow special char but allow space. 

^[A-Za-z0-9 ]+$

Hi Hector,

I can confirm that inside of Jira Cloud that validators are designed using the Jira Expression Framework and you would need to use this to define the validator that you require.

I can confirm that we have a knowledge base article located here which explains how you can use this to create the validator that you want with ScriptRunner for Jira Cloud and I hope this helps to achieve your requirement.
