ForAnyValue:StringNotLikeIfExists

Warning:

ForAnyValue: StringNotLikeIfExists is actively confusing. Any operator starting with ForAnyValue will ignore IfExists. IfExists is not evaluated against the entire array, it is only evaluated against a single value at a time, inside the ForAnyValue loop.

This is the kind of thing Jacob would do. Use ForAnyValue: StringNotLike instead so your coworkers don't hate you.

ForAnyValue: StringNotLikeIfExists

ForAnyValue: StringNotLikeIfExists compares a list of strings in a request to a list of strings in your policy. The policy values can include asterisks (*) to match multiple characters and question marks (?) to match a single character. The comparision is case sensitive.

To match a request, the context key must exist in the request and at least one string in the request must NOT match any of strings in your policy.

You can use policy variables in the value of this operator.
