Syntax change suggestion for example in "Add Parameters to Validator" in Jira Cloud workflow screen

    • We collect Jira feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      I recently figured out how to add multiple options in the "Add Parameters to Validator" screen.  

      I was not able to figure out how to do this from the example text in  the workflow screen and want to provide a suggestion for changing the text to help the next person trying to add this to their workflow.  Based on the text in the workflow screen (see screenshot), I had tried various permutations of the word "Option" and putting my values in quotes — Option [A,B], [A,B], Option ["A", "B"], "Option [A,B]", etc.

       

      JIRA Cloud currently says:  

      • Option [A,B] would allow a selection of options: Option A, Option B or both.

      Suggestion: 

      • (A|B) would allow a selection of options: Option A, Option B or both.

       

      Note: I did not validate the "or both" option as my field is a single-select list. I also did not test the other examples for number/character options to determine if parenthesis should be used instead of brackets.

      This information would have save me a lot of time and may be a benefit to others.
