Regex for story points

[ნოდარ ვარდიაშვილი_ Nodar_Vardiashvili_space_ge]

Hi, i want to validate story point with regex, users only can choose 1,2,3,5,8,13,21 i write this /^(1|2|3|5|8|13|21)$/   but not working, get this error

Field Story Points with actual value '5.0' does not match regular expression /^(1|2|3|5|8|13|21)$/

Hi @ნოდარ ვარდიაშვილი_ Nodar_Vardiashvili_space_ge 

Where are you trying to perform this validation with the regular expression?  For example, in custom code you wrote, an automation rule, etc.

Have you tried to floor or format the story point value before performing the comparison?

Kind regards,
Bill

Thanks for that information.  Please try this expression:

((1|2|3|5|8|13|21)(\.0))

Hi there!

To make your regex work for both whole numbers and floating-point numbers, you can modify it to allow for optional decimal points and trailing zeros. Here's the modified version which you can try out instead:

• /^(1|2|3|5|8|13|21)(\.0)?$/gm

Let me know if it works! ;)

Hi, same problem

I try to add 3 in story points but get this error
