Description

@talkingmoose

Jamf manifests support the pattern keyword to provide regular expression (regex) pattern matching for verification. This is useful for validating a value.

Here’s a basic property:

{
    "title": "Disk Manager (com.company.diskmanager)",
    "description": "Preference settings for the fictitious Disk Manager application. This manifest demonstrates different ways to format the appearance or value of properties as well as include useful options like infoText. Jamf Pro supports many but not all elements and options here: https://github.com/json-editor/json-editor.",
    "properties": {
        "epochDate": {
            "title": "Start Date",
            "description": "Date (in YYYY-MM-DD format) of drive installation.",
            "property_order": 45,
            "type": "string"
        }
    }
}

Here’s the same property with the pattern keyword.

{
    "title": "Disk Manager (com.company.diskmanager)",
    "description": "Preference settings for the fictitious Disk Manager application. This manifest demonstrates different ways to format the appearance or value of properties as well as include useful options like infoText. Jamf Pro supports many but not all elements and options here: https://github.com/json-editor/json-editor.",
    "properties": {
        "epochDate": {
            "title": "Start Date",
            "description": "Date (in YYYY-MM-DD format) of drive installation.",
            "property_order": 45,
            "type": "string",
            "pattern": "^20[0-9]{2}-(0[1-9]|1[0-2])-(0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[0-1])$"
        }
    }
}

This change applies to all property string and integer property types.
