Regular expression renderer

The Regular expression renderer post function can be used for replacing a sub-string in the content of another field. The replacing string is defined by the content of another field. You can implement this same behavior using more advanced features like Copy parsed text to a field or Format field value post-functions.

In this documentation and the post function configuration you will notice the symbol ( * ) next to some parameters, it means that this field is mandatory and shall not be left empty. Fields without the symbol are optional.

Basic configuration*

Below you will find a detailed description of each parameter of the basic configuration of the function.

Target field*

Select the field to be checked against the regular expression (e.g., Assignee).

Replacement field*

Select the field to read the replacement value from. (e.g., Reporter).

Expression*

Enter plain text and optionally use field codes to insert field values. The expression will be used to match the sub-string in the selected target field.

You can try your expression by clicking on the play button on the top right of the JQL expression box.

Additional options

You have the option to Update issue immediately (a specific entry will be created in issue history for this field writing).

Conditional execution

Enter a condition (Logical / boolean condition) using the JWT expression parser - full feature list syntax.

You can even logically link and gather conditions in expressions as you like in order to map more complex conditions.

The post function will only be executed if the condition is met (returns true).
