Help with JQL query

[Mélanie Liguet]

Hi, 

I search a workitem that contains the key to another workitem in his summary field.

This JQL query does not return any results

However, I have a issuethat exists with "depro-686" in his summary.

Can you help me with my JQL query ?

regards

Hi @Mélanie Liguet 

Try project = iss and summary ~ "DEPRO-686*"

This as the Summary states DEPRO-686-TEST

Hi @Mélanie Liguet 

I just tried this,Test API-2

Using the search options:

1. summary ~ API-2
2. summary ~ "API-2"

Both JQL options found the issue

Hi @Mélanie Liguet ,

Thank you for your question.
If you are searching for DEPRO-686 it is just required to write the following jql:

summary ~ "DEPRO-686" (without \")

If you are searching for "DEPRO-686":

summary ~ "\"DEPRO-686\""

If you are searching for [DEPRO]:

summary ~ "\\[DEPRO\\]"

 Hope it helps

Thanks,

but, thats  not works without \"

I replicated the same work item and jql and for me it works:

Try to debug the jql removing piece by piece

[Mélanie Liguet]

I found
a dash had slipped behind xxx-686-
If I remove the dash, it works.

Thank you very much for your help.
