Is it possible to use wildcards in tag definitions?

Hi,

is it possible to use a wildcard in the field value pair settings?

This way doesn't work for me:

field value pair: referral=A*

tag name: campaign1

No. That won't work. But you can get around it using eventtypes.

eventtypes.conf
[a_referral]
search = referral=A*

tags.conf
[eventtype=a_referral]
campaign1 = enabled
