issueFieldExactMatch with special characters

Question

Hi *,
I'm using `issueFieldExactMatch` function to really get an issue with exact name.
This works quite well until I have some special characters in searched name.

issueFunction in issueFieldExactMatch('project=RDXRAYEV and type=test','summary','test_basic_feature[check_temperature-WithSimulators]')

This throws an error:

Reg ex compilation failure in issueFieldExactMatch function: Illegal character range near index 37 test_basic_feature[check_temperature-WithSimulators] ^

what points to the "W" string. But after more attempts it looks like the dash is the problem. I tried to escape it with double backslash, what helped me to get rid of the exception, but there were no results, even I know the issue with such name is present in the project.

Similar issues I have e.g with names like test_my_script[] . As soon as there is some text between the square brackets everything works properly.

Is there any way how to look also for text names with special characters?

Thanks for confirmation!

yes, I tried also lowercase `w`, but doesn't work always. E.g.

issueFunction in issueFieldExactMatch('project=RDXRAYEV and type=test','summary','test_basic_feature[change_randomly-withSimulators]')

gives an error:

Reg ex compilation failure in issueFieldExactMatch function: Illegal character range near index 35 test_basic_feature[change_randomly-withSimulators] ^

Seems like a bug perhaps.

With regex match this works

issueFunction in issueFieldMatch('key = RUFF-10','summary','test_basic_feature$$check_temperature-WithSimulators$$')

But I can't seem to get any escapes in the issueFieldExactMatch either, it seems like a bug imo.

Lower case -w works, but no uppercase letters do.

issueFunction in issueFieldExactMatch('key = RUFF-10','summary','test_basic_feature[check_temperature-withSimulators]')

Perhaps someone from Adaptavist can check this.
