Htaccess rewriterule wordpress issue

Question

I'm trying to make this rewriterule via htaccess file in wordpress I have the following url: https://domain_name.com/index.php/field/value_to_be_written and I want it to be internally redirect to: https://domain_name.com/index.php/field/?get_value=value_to_be_written

I have this following code but it's giving me error 500:

RewriteRule ^index.php/field/(.*)$ index.php/field/?get_value=$1 [L]

Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

You just need leading slashes:

RewriteRule ^/index\.php/field/(.*)$ /index.php/field/?get_value=$1 [L]
