How can we search for a particular comments in DIMS?

[Thomas Ding]

Say there is a certain defect number (RTC-1122 or AUTO-1234) mentioned in the comments. Can there be a search field for specific numbers in comments?

Thank you Andrew Heinzer, that's of great help! Really appreciate your prompt response :)

Jira's JQL is limited to searching Whole word searches only.   So you won't be able to search just a fragment of that defect number like 1122 or 1234.  But you could search the comments for a specific issue key mentioned there.

If you were using the JQL advanced search you could do this with a query such as

comment ~ "AUTO-1234"

I would expect that this would return to you a list of all issues in Jira that have that whole word in any of their comments.
