Hi,
when defining a smart variable with a match e.g. on the domain name, is it
only possible to use exact matches such as "domain = example.com", or is
there a way to search for substrings and so on, as in Foreman search
patterns using different operators and wildcards like "domain ~ .com",
"domain ~ *.edu"…?
I did some tests but only exact matches worked here… although I'm still
on 1.3 at the moment.
Thanks.
Marco
It's exact matches only, I think. We do know that needs to be extended
- I think there's an issue open, but feel free to open one if not

Feature #3636: Regex support in matcher-values of smart variables and parameters - Foreman
Though like a lot of things around smart variables, it might open up
questions about precedence. What happens if two matchers match?
