How to filter projects with a special prefix in the name

[samantha.passardi]

I need to filter all tasks/issues belonging to a specific group of projects, filtering them through project's name prefix.

EX:

Project 1 : "PRE1_namefirst"

Project 2 : "PRE1_namesecond"

Project 3 : "PRE2_namethird"

RESULT : all tasks belonging to project1 and 2, but NOT the project3

If you happen to have the ScriptRunner app installed, it has a handy projectMatch function that can be used for this purpose.

e.g. project in projectMatch("^PRJ.*")

Hi @samantha.passardi,

You cannot do fuzzy searches on project names. As a workaround, you might consider using the project category (which you can set on each Project via project settings > details. It then allows you to search on category = PRE1 (just continuing from your example here).

Project categories can be defined by your Jira Administrator.

Hope this helps!

Project Category is already taken for other clustering activities

No way to solution

Thank you anyway
