# AWS::WAFv2::RuleGroup PreParseTextTransformation
<a name="aws-properties-wafv2-rulegroup-preparsetexttransformation"></a>

A pre-parse text transformation that normalizes the raw query string before AWS WAF parses it into individual query arguments. Pre-parse text transformations are only supported when `FieldToMatch` is `SingleQueryArgument` or `AllQueryArguments`.
