Thanks in advance for any ideas on what I'm missing
Best,
Adrian

Thank you very much! That explains it.

From now on a regex will have to be applied in Parser for cloud users. Non-cloud users can use a regex directly in Excel or Google Sheets. There won't be an option to set a regex directly in the extension.
