In 4.2.1 build 98164 I'm using the Interactive Field Extractor and the Generated pattern automatically generates an expression similar to (?:[^:\n]*:){6}//(?P<FIELDNAME2>[^\.]+)
.
When attempting to save the expression a validation error pops: "Each field must have a name. 1 field(s) do not have names."
Manually Editing the expression and removing the number in the parameter <FIELDNAME>
i.e. (?:[^:\n]*:){6}//(?P<FIELDNAME>[^\.]+)
will allow you to save the expression.
Regenerating the regex pattern changes the <FIELDNAME>
parameter back to <FIELDNAME2>
.
make sure that
fieldname "FIELDNAME" is not being used/generated for other users.
Still an issue in 4.3
