How can I use the Filtered Group Picker app to create custom fields that only allow selecting from a set of pre-defined groups?
The Filtered Group Picker app provides two custom field types: (1) Group Picker (multiple, with filters), and (2) Group Picker (single, with filters). Create a custom field with one of these types, and then navigate to the Custom field config page.
You can either choose exactly which groups you’d like to appear in your group picker dropdown (e.g. system-administrators, and org-admins in the following example):
Or, you can configure a custom regular expression to match specific groups by patterns in their names. You could, for example, match groups whose name starts/ends with specific characters. In the following example, we just configure a simple regex that matches either system-administrators or org-admins:
You can write more complex regular expressions to match custom group sets by patterns in their names.
