JQL Query for summary

Matthias_7oieru

Hi all,

I have an issue with summary "Test DA".

JQL Query "summary ~ Test" finds my issue.

JQL Query "summary ~ DA" does not find my issue.

What happens here? How can I find all issues with the String "DA" in the summary?

Thanks for your help,
Matthias

Hi @Matthias

Even though not listed in the documentation for the advanced search functions, it appears that the contains (~) for text field doesn't always match.

Try adding a wildcard character to see if that helps: summary ~ "DA*"

Best regards,

Bill

Thanks for your hint.

summary ~ "DA*" does not help
But summary ~ \"DA\" does the expected search

I really would like to understand why summary ~ DA does not work ...

I am glad you got that to work!

Yes, I am also puzzled by it not working as-is. I have had other 2-character long searches find matches, so it is not length-related, and "DA" does not appear to be a reserved word/operator. Very curious...

There appears to be quite a bit about JQL which is undocumented. Often I run into errors indicating something is invalid or a reserved word requiring quotes for matches. I hypothesize there is something in the parsing of JQL to the underlying query language for the database that it does not like.

Very strange: in a fresh install with only one issue with the summary "Test DA" the search "summary ~ DA" gets the correct result ...

Ticket at atlassian is open.

Using a ? after the word worked for me. The * and the escape \ did not.
