Failing to extract to multivalue field with props.conf and transforms.conf

Im not sure why I am not extracting into multivalue fields. It's only extracting the last matching group. I think its my regex. In splunk the answer_rdata is not a mv field, but contains the last value from the ANSWER SECTION

props.conf

[pfsense:unbound]
REPORT-unbound-mvfields = unbound_answer_section

transforms.conf

[unbound_answer_section]
REGEX = (?:ANSWER\sSECTION:\s(?:(?<answer_name>\S+)#011(?<answer_ttl>\S+)#011(?<answer_class>\S+)#011(?<answer_type>\S+)#011(?<answer_rdata>\S+)\s)+\s\;\;)
MV_ADD=true

Below is an example of the log entries. Id like to extract all the data in the ANSWERS SECTION into mv fields: answer_name, answer_ttl, answer_class, answer_type, and answer_rdata.

Hi,

This may help :
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.2.3/Knowledge/ConfigureSplunktoparsemulti-valuefields

Try using fields.conf with TOKENIZER as below:

[answer_domain]
TOKENIZER = (ANSWER SECTION):\s+(?P<domain>[^#]+)

[answer_ip]
TOKENIZER = #01(?P<answer_ip>\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3})
