Hi @mikeovery1,

MP Builder supports Java 8 regular expressions. The MP Builder regex feature doesn't do string conversion, per se. It just allows you to extract a substring that matches the given regex pattern. The characters themselves don't change. Unfortunately, this is not enough to enable case-insensitive relationship matching - we'll be adding that feature in the next version.

Best regards,

Mark

Hi @mikeovery1,

We don't currently support case-insensitive matching for relationships. We're planning to add this feature in the next release.

Best regards,

Mark

Is there not a regex that is supported to convert a string to upper or lower in that case?

I have not yet found one to work but I don't know the interpreter that is used here

The 1.1.2 release does not fix this. Is there a specific release number I need to look out for?

Or is it fixed but I need to supply a specific regex expression?

This feature is solved in the upcoming beta for the hosted version of Content Builder.  It will be available on-prem in version 2.0.
