Possible issue with variables in Browser Extension setting for Website entries

Published a year ago

I'm not sure if this possibly isn't supported or if I'm just doing something incorrect.

I'm trying to make a template that has some variables in it for creating an entry to our demo system. All of our demo sites follow the form "https://mydemo.site.com/SITEID/". There is a default redirect that adds some query parameters to the URL so the final URL comes out something like "https://mydemo.site.com/SITEID/?RedirectTo=SomeValue..."

I have these custom variables defined:
$DEMOSITE_ROOT$ = "https://mydemo.site.com/"
$DEMOSITE_ROOT_REGEX$ = "https://mydemo\.site\.com\/"
$REGEX_MATCH_ALL_END$ = ".*$"

I have a Website entry template that defines $CUSTOM_FIELD1$ as the "Site ID".

For the website URL, I've defined it as $DEMOSITE_ROOT$$CUSTOM_FIELD1$

For the Browser Extension, I've set the following options:
Allow Workspace browser extension autofill = Enabled
Compare Type = Compare regex with full URL
Regex = $DEMOSITE_ROOT_REGEX$$CUSTOM_FIELD1$\/$REGEX_MATCH_ALL_END$

If I create a new entry with this template and use the Clipboard -> "Copy URL" option, it renders the URL correctly. However, when I go into the browser and look at the browser extension, it pulls entries that have the same base domain, but not the one I added in the template. I did set the option in the browser extension to use Regex by default.

Are variables in the regex not supported or am I doing something incorrect here? If this exact method isn't supported, is there another way to accomplish this?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to us regarding this,

Could you please specify the version of RDM you are currently using?
Could you also confirm which version of the Workspace browser extension you are currently using?

Would you be able to provide me with a short recording of this behavior? I will send you a private message so that you can provide the recording securely.

Best regards,

Hi Samuel,

We're using 2024.1.28.0 at the moment but we'll be updating to current over the weekend.

For the Workspace browser extension, it's 2024.3.6.0 MV3

I'll try to make that recording this evening and get it out to you, I just received your secure link.

Hello,

Thank you for your reply and for the recording,

I have reached out to our development team regarding this issue and they have confirmed that, unfortunately variables from RDM are not being resolved for Regex currently, my recommendation at this time would be to create a feature request for this, we use this section of the forum for this: https://forum.devolutions.net/forums/17/remote-desktop-manager--feature-request

Let me know if this helps or if you have further questions regarding this,

Best regards,
