How do I do a contains in a label?

[Colin A Bitterfield]

I have read through the other knowledge base articles. They don't work or they reference a paid product plugin. It should not take over an hour of search to find an workable example of how to search labels with a wildcard.

I have a custom field with labels. myField[labels] allowable search operators do not include a "~" in any form. The example shown use in and then WildcardMatch which also does not work.

How does one do a customField[Labels] in wildcardMatch("Start*") and have it work with Native(free) JQL?

Simple answer is "no" - labels are intended to be used as single full word, they're not supposed to be compounded and then split during search.
