How to search for a word at the beginning of an issue summary

[Markus Dietrich]

I need to create a search which will return all issues where the summary is starting with a key word. It should not return issues where the key word is in the middle of the summary. Any idea how to do this in JQL?

Regards,
Markus

Hi @Markus Dietrich 

Welcome to the community!

As far as I know, you can't do that without an app.

Here, Atlassian recommends using Script Runner's issueFieldMatch JQL function with regular expression.

You can use something like

issueFunction in issueFieldMatch("", "summary", "^startingword*")

Hope it helps
