How to search for issues where custom field matches using the API

[Benjamin Roswall]

I'm using the Jira API in C#

I know the following doesn't work, but I need to know how to make it work.

I need to search for issues, where a custom field matches the query. Preferably with a "Contains", but if it's only possible with an exact match, that's also ok.

Any idea?

Example of what I've tried.

var issues = from n in jiraConn.Issues.Queryable

             where n.Project == "DBSQA"

             && n.Type == "Hotfix"

             && n.CustomFields["customfield_12001"].Values[0].Contains("-323-")

             select n;

I figured out that there's an option to use "real" JQL, and in turn that custom fields in JQL use their "display name"... so it's a lot easier like that :-)

Task<IPagedQueryResult<Issue>> task = jiraConn.Issues.GetIssuesFromJqlAsync("Project = DBSQA AND Type = Hotfix AND \"First Included in CP\" ~ \"*-323-*\"");
task.Wait();
IEnumerable<Issue> issues = task.Result;
