a tutorial from '22, guess these things changed then
Maybe you need to enable advanced settings for this in your profile?
That is weird, you did use the input text helper, did you? That one looks simple as this:
and after that with the cog/gear:
what is going on here 
no further settings than “Administrator” plus some local only settings and device options
Yep, that’s it. If I turn it off, my dialog looks like yours. When on, I can set regex.
Are you logged in as an admin user or a regular one?
Admin, trying to find that screen, System->General ? (System->Allgemein here)
Even that looks different… woahh I guess the HA green is a ripped off HA
Your profile is hidden in plain sight 
. Simply click your profile picture/icon in the bottom left.
Thanks! Found it. Wow why can’t this be set in the profiles. 
Alright NOW the helper offers the required options.

The setting has been on for so long for me that I hardly remember it’s there, or that things may look different without it.

But if you know what regex is, you definitely qualify for having it on
Hehe, well actually it isn’t even required here as it seems. My regex knowledege is pretty basic so I’d have to google if I’d need it 
Alle the trouble now and still I don’t see the call list, guess I missed smth. The FritzBox only suppplies general activities but not a caller list by this entity. Oh well, I got a different box, maybe it just won’t work with the 7590.
I have the same one, but the entity it provides seems pretty basic. Haven’t looked at services yet.
looking at the guide, I think it should work. But it will only show something when ringing or talking on the phone as far as I can tell.
Almost useless information, maybe it will just show missed calls. I saw some youtube video where a guy used the activity information to mute all TV/music when a call is coming in. Sadly the HA guide doesn’t go into detail with it.
I didn’t even think about Advanced Mode… I’m pretty sure mine has been on since Day 1.
as a HA noob this really is fun … well, sort of
That is the normal history, but the text sensor extracts who is calling and makes a list of history using the custom card. But you’ll have to wait until you’ve been called a couple of times. If you follow the guide, I think it becomes more useful.
yes I noticed it doesn’t recognize older stuff in the fritzbox but new calls yesteray
