I have set some custom definition of dones and I need a JQL where I can get all the items that have a particular DoD set to Not Applicable only or false.

I'm using "Definition of Done" = itemSearch("name = <my custom_name>", "completion = true". The problem is that all the items that have this DoD set as Not Applicable return as if they were true. 

When I go to the item, a N/A DoD is indeed check as it was done (true), but is is shown differently with an * and the N/A literal. So the information is there somewhere, I just need to know how to get it via JQL.

Any hints? 

EDIT:

What I needed was very simple, just to add a status check inside the itemSearch

AND ( ( "Definition of Done" = itemSearch("name = UT created", "status = notApplicable") ) )

Hi @Guilherme Rech 

AS you are on DC how has this bean implemented, just with a custom field or otherwise via a 3rd party integration?

Also the search query you provide is not an ootb JQL function, is there a JQL extension installed, if so which.

And can you show screenshots of issues, with Dod options?
