https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=23873 Bug ID: 23873 Summary: Allow marc modification templates to use capturing groups in substitutions Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: 19.05 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: major Priority: P5 - low Component: Tools Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: andrew@bywatersolutions.com QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org To test: - Find/create a bib record with a date formatted as YYYYMMDD - Create a marc modification template to Copy and Replace your field with this regex: s/(\d{4})(\d{2})(\d{2})/\1\-\2\-\3/ -- this should reformat your date as "YYYY-MM-DD" - Apply your template to your bib - Observe that the match worked, but the substitution failed -- the value "\1\-\2\-\3" is treated literally Apparently this fails due to some aspect of how regex works within perl? It'd be hugely useful if we could get it working. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. You are watching all bug changes.
