JIRA filter for component.description field

[walter.steinhauser]

I'm working a lot with components and the JIRA filters working fine like project = xyz AND component = abc.

Is there a possibility to also filter the description field of a component?

Like: project = xyz AND component.[description] = abc?

I think it must be possible, because the description field is shown with mouse-over. I would like to filter it as well, but I can't find the syntax.

Thank you.

Hi @walter.steinhauser and welcome to the community,

On JQL I don't think it's possible. Can't really find a meaning to do a query with the description of a component (since it's going to be a text (string)). You might have better luck with smart values on Jira Automation, although I haven't really try it.

Looking at the official documentation of the component field in JQL, it doesn't mention that you can access in properties. It talks about that you can use the ID and the name, and that's it.

So I'm afraid it is not possible:

You can search by component name or component ID (i.e. the number that Jira automatically allocates to a component).

Thank you for confirmation. I thought so.
