Parse Value

'SourceField' specifies the Data Field whose value will be parsed using the regular expression in 'Pattern'.

• The value of this field is used as the input for the regex operation.
• Sibling fields (fields with the same parent) can be populated with the results.

Tip:
Choose a field that contains a composite value you want to split into multiple fields.

'Pattern' should be a regular expression containing named groups—one for each field to be populated.

• Each group name must match the target field's name, with spaces replaced by underscores.
• The value captured by each group is assigned to the corresponding field.

Example:

Applied to "DOE, JOHN Q", this will populate:

• "Last Name" with "DOE"
• "First Name" with "JOHN"
• "MI" with "Q"

Tip:
Use the Pattern Editor to assist with group naming and regex construction.

• If set, this value will be shown in UIs and logs instead of the default action type name.
• Useful for providing a user-friendly or context-specific label for the action.

Example:
DisplayName = "Normalize Phone Number"

• Use this property to provide additional context, instructions, or documentation for the action.
• The remarks are visible in property grids and can help clarify the intent or configuration of the action.

Example:
Remarks = "This action trims whitespace and converts the value to uppercase."

This property provides a concise description of what the action does.
