Regex in Retool: Contains a substring?

I have a simple text field in Retool that I would like to validate includes the substring "-demo" So anything like test-demo, jeremy-demo, etc. would be acceptable. I'm sure with extra thought I could prevent stuff after the -demo part too, but one step at a time..

The closest I've gotten is using the pattern \-demo which is validating only when the string is EXACTLY "-demo" no more no less.

Using their own RegEx Tester (here) I've found /\-demo/g to work, but it does not actually work in practice.

I have found a Tool Online to Test Retool Regex Flavour: https://retool.com/utilities/regex-tester

In This tool the following pattern matches for "test-demo"

/\w+-demo/

You can use the following expression to validate if the text field includes the substring "-demo":

{{/-demo/.test(textField.value)}}

I have tested this in Retool and it works for me.
