Regular Expression precondition
Description
The Regular Expression precondition compares the value of a text, number, or URL field against a regular expression. Use it to verify that the content matches a specified format.
Configuration
You must select the field to be checked and enter the regular expression. For example:
[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{4} allows numbers such as: 1245-7783
[0-9]+ EUR$ allows price tags such as: 34 EUR
[a-z]* allows an empty string, or any lowercase word such as: yellow
Option [A,B] allows a selection of options: Option A, Option B or both.
Detailed documentation on regular expressions can be found in Oracle's documentation for a technical description, or at regular-expressions.info for a more general description. Another good resource for developing and testing regular expressions is freeformatter.com.
Example
A workflow is configured so that the Create transition has the Regular Expression precondition. If the summary contains the phrase 'Onboarding'or 'onboarding', a sub-task will be created for creating the user account in the company's systems.
