Searching for an Issue by Field

Question

Using the REST API, is there a way I can get an issue by searching for a value in one of its fields?

Yes, you can use

custom_field_12345 ~ "find_string"

for text fields

unknown · Answer

Will this work with custom fields as well?

Hi @[deleted]

You could use the search call as shown here - it accepts any JQL, so as long as you're able to articulate the query, it should work, something like

/rest/api/3/search?jql=fieldxx~"find_string"

This will most likely work for text-type fields, not too sure for others
