Search function on a Kanban board doesn't work on Project name.

[Rob Peters]

Hi, 

I have setup a Kanban board with a board filter that filters a specific work items ("Service") from all the projects that we have. The Service tickets from all these projects are display on the Kanban board. 

I have also customized the Kanban card so that is contains the project name which is a combination of customer name and location. To be able to plan the Service activities more efficient I would like to be able to use the search bar at the top of the Kanban board to search for a specific customer. 

The problem that i run into is that this search function apparently doesn't work on the project name. Is there something I do wrong or is there a specific setting or workaround. 

Please help :-)

Hi @Rob Peters 

Welcome to the community.

This box is a text search related to the items on the board.

It can't find project names, it does find work items based on project prefix key.

Hi @Rob Peters

Project name is not searchable, also not in the global search..

This has been raised as a feature, but has been closed as not to be fixed, se https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-37906

Thanks for the feedback.

Hi @Marc - Devoteam 

Thank you for your response. 

I understand it is a text search box for that reason I would have expect it would also be able to search on the project name as it is visible on the board (see screenshot below).
