What is the JQL field I use to find all JIRA items where 'Type' is set to a specific value (like 'Test' in the below example)?  The 'type' field does not contain this list of values.

Thank you!

Hi @Patrick Dooley,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

The field name you are looking for is issuetype, the screenshot you included is from DC and there the field is shortened to Type.

So, your query would look like this:

issuetype = Test

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

On a side note, the tags for you post indicate you are using Jira Cloud. Contrary to that the image you provided is from a Jira Data Center instance.

If you click on the Help > About Jira option in Jira and see a 3-part version number like 10.3.5 then you are using Jira Server or Jira Data Center.

Data Center is the self-hosted product where the installation package has been downloaded an installed on a server by your administrators, along with setting up a companion database. Your administrators are responsible for maintaining the server and upgrading the software.

Cloud is the Software-as-a-Service product where Atlassian manages the servers, the database, and the application upgrades for you.
