Suggestion

It would be cool to be able to add some regex from templates as backreferences in the RSS downloader must contain and must not contain fields.

Use case

Simplify and allow for more dynamic download automation.

Originally created by @sallymanda on GitHub (Mar 9, 2025). ### Suggestion It would be cool to be able to add some regex from templates as backreferences in the RSS downloader `must contain` and `must not contain` fields. For example, in the RSS downloader one could add regex as template, like `(long|list|of|release|groups|i|like)`, which can then be easily added to `must contain` using `\1`. ### Use case Simplify and allow for more dynamic download automation. ### Extra info/examples/attachments _No response_
