Has anyone found a plug-in that can extent the "was-in" operator?

[Chuck Cox]

Hello community,

My users have a request to use the "was", "was in" operators for more fields than just the delivered fields. We would also like to use this operator on custom fields. 

Any ideas?

Hi @Chuck Cox 

I have seen several suggestions to add WAS IN for other fields in the public backlog, but nothing for custom fields. 

My recommendation would be to check the marketplace for JQL enhancements to make queries operate more like SQL, and then contact the vendor to ask if they support this specific capability.

Kind regards,
Bill

Thanks, Bill. 
Did the suggestions to add WAS IN for other fields result in any development?

That is unclear...some look like both old/new defects which need triage, and others just timed-out: that is, not enough interest to move forward.

Here is the full list if you want to review for similarities to your use case:
