[Solved] Process Transition condition type

Post by lis9 »

Hello!

I would like to ask you for transition condition type regex. The documentation says: (https://doc.otrs.com/doc/manual/admin/6 ... .7.3.5.5.3)
"Regex: The field value can be tested with a regular expression. It is important that Match contains qr{}xms as a base condition. Between the braces the actual regular expression can be noted."

Unfortunately I've got two problems: in exported process source file (yml) instead of "Regex" type we have "Regexp" and I have tried many possible combinations like qr{^ZH.*$}xms or qr{'^ZH.*$'}xms and list full of other delimiters for regex string like (),"", // and so forth.

Because I have previously reported few bugs to process management code I think that it may be an another bug, but I like to ask if somebody knows what is the proper formatting of regex condition to make the transaction to be called successfully. I still hope there is my fault somewhere.

Best regards
Daniel Lisiecki

Hi,

I think you misunderstood the manual. This is a working condition in one of my test systems, matching states containing the term closed

I suggest that you go just with

Code: Select all

^ZH.*$

P.S.: Do you use the GUI for creating the processes, right?

Yes right. I use the GUI to create processes.

Unfortunately the working solution seems to be ZH* without ^$. It's sad because I cannot look for empty/whitespace field using such regex as (^$)|(\s+$). It seems that the only solution is to write my own transition validation module :-(

In your example your condition is equivalent to type String and fixed value, no wildcards.

Thank you very much for your assistance!

.* works fine for anything and ^$ for empty. Please note that a dynamic field if it has no value is not existant for this ticket so checking on empty will not work here

Not really. My examples matches e.g. these states

- closed successful
- closed successful
- closed
- closed with workaround


A regular expression may contain a wildcard or other pattern but this is not mandatory.

Yes, I'm aware of that, but my situation is quite different. I have some values in DF type textarea. Every line begins with ZH-<number>. I want to call transition action when the field gets emptied by user. It can be completely empty or can contain white spaces.
My idea was to call transition when DF contains any ZH string, and call other transaction when it does not. If DF emptied by user gets DF nonexistent in ticket my belief to create own validation module seems to be right even more.
