​Hi,

I am trying to search for a department using a custom field. This cannot be achieved using the department web service, so I am listing all departments and attempting to pull out the department I need via the JSON parser, but I am running into difficulties.

Given the following JSON payload:

{
    "departments": [
        {
            "description": "Department 1",
            "custom_fields": {
                "company_email_addresses": "dp1_support@mydomain.com,dp1_community@mydomain.com",
                "industry": "Transportation",
                "geography": null,
                "escalation_path": null,
                "account_active": true
            },
            "id": 1234567891,
            "name": "DP1",
            "created_at": "2024-02-29T09:14:52Z",
            "updated_at": "2024-02-29T09:14:52Z"
        },
        {
            "description": "Department 2",
            "custom_fields": {
                "company_email_addresses": "dp2_support@mydomain.com,dp2_community@mydomain.com",
                "industry": "Communications",
                "geography": null,
                "escalation_path": null,
                "account_active": true
            },
            "id": 1234567892,
            "name": "DP2",
            "created_at": "2024-02-29T09:14:52Z",
            "updated_at": "2024-02-29T09:14:52Z"
        }
    ]
}

I am trying to pull out name where the company_email_addresses field contains a string:

$.departments[?(@.custom_fields.company_email_addresses =~ /.*dp1_support@mydomain.com.*/i)].name

What I am finding is, that both departments from the data are returned; it’s not matching:


If I do a direct == match, it works perfectly, but I cannot get it to work with a regular expression.

There do seem to be a number of variations on the jsonpath syntax.

Does anyone know what style FS is using and the correct way to pattern match?

Thanks.
