Why does !~ work on the Acceptance Criteria field

[Michael Davidson]

Trying to query JIRA using JQL to check for key works in the Story Acceptance Criteria.

For Some reason, this does not work. Any idea why ?

Any insight would be appreciated

project = TCLETA AND issuetype  = Story  and("Acceptance Criteria" !~ "Given:" or "Acceptance Criteria" !~ "When:" OR "Acceptance Criteria" !~ "Then:" )

Hi @Michael Davidson . What do you mean by "does not work"? Is any error displayed? Or expected results are not displayed?

What results do you expect?

Hi @Michael Davidson,

Is the field Acceptance Criteria set to use the "Free Text Searcher" search template? You can check that by going to the custom field and click Edit details.
