Since anyAttribute is no longer available, how can someone find an object that contains a specific word in any field? The person who is searching doesn't know where the word might be, can be on a name field, a description field, etc.

Hi @Adriana Sanchez ,

Not ideal, but I think you'll have to construct an AQL query like:

Name ~ "yourWord" OR Description ~ "yourWord" OR [OtherAttribute] ~ "yourWord"...

As far as I know, there's no other workaround for this. 

I've tried checking submitted open feature requests, but I couldn't find anything related. What you could do is to reach out to Atlassian Support team and discuss your requirement. Their team can then, probably, create a new featured request based on that.

Cheers,
Tobi
