Pretty Straight forward,  is there a way to create a smart group whose members are identified by a naming convention using regex?

Bump. 
 

I know this one is a reach but it would be really nice.

 

some alternative to achieve the same thing would be awesome.

RegEx support would be nice. 

Can you just use multiple rules to achieve the same thing?

Match: All

Client Name > Starts With: SRV

Client Name > Contains: PROD

Client Name > Does Not Contain: PREPROD

Client Name > Ends With: [0-5][0-9][0-9]

I would be really convoluted and hard to test, but I see your point.

A regex would be much easier to test for consistency.

 

The problem is that it's not entirely clear what wildcards are supported for example “?” does not seem to be supported which would make it a lot easier.

Using “Preview” takes away some of the pain when testing rule groups, but I do agree that proper regex, or at minimum a consistent implementation of wildcard logic across the platform, would be better.

You could raise a CMR for it. I suspect you’d be waiting a while for it though.

Thanks. I think it’ll do that.
