[rules-users] guvnor - dsl rule editor - using ":" in text box

[John Walker]

I also have a similar [then] DSL which is trying to set a value.  Looks 
like:
[then]Set summary to {summary}=... code here ...

As expected, the same problem occurs.

Is there a workaround for these two scenarios?

Can I set a regex on the DSL for the [when] and [then]?
Like:
[when]- and var9 matches {v9:.*}=field9!=null, field9 matches "{v9}"
[then]Set summary to {summary:.*}=... code here ...

I am not very familiar with regex inside the DSL variable placeholders.  
I've only just seen this in other forum posts.

Thanks,
John

Tested it and this is a bug.
I made a Jira for it so you can follow it.
