How do I write a JQL query for summary to specifical find a issue with a specific word?

[Matthew Nico]

The JQL references a query to find all issues with the word (Platform), but it adds issues with the word Platform in the summary. I need it to specific filter for (Platform) to add it to the swim lane.

summary ~ "(Platform)"

This JQL seems like the only thing I can use, but it also grabs all issues with the word "Platform" in it. I need it to no identify or grab those just the (Platform) text.

Hi @Matthew Nico

As you're on Jira Cloud, the correct answer is to get an app that provides JQL extensions you're looking for.

With standard JQL, you can only get a list of issues and export them to Excel for further processing. This works if you want to do a one-off analysis. If your use case is more dynamic than that, look beyond standard Jira.

Standard JQL doesn't easily allow it, but you can quickly find the results using our professional indexing service JQL Search Extensions

You can use this query to find your issues that have only “Platform” in the summary.

issue in wildcardMatch("summary", "Platform")

Check out the documentation for more examples.

@mauricio.groth Thank you for taking time to explain this and type this solution out. I have not yet been able to test this out. It looks like we don't have the JQL extension to execute this command or code. I'm in the process of figuring out a solution to get the result we need.
