Hi everyone!
I've been trying to build a query in JQL (On Demand) using a CF (custom field) that I've created but with no success. The system show me the following message: Product is not applicable for the current project and/or issue type. The CF is available in all my projects. Am I doing something wrong?
When you first add the field, it'll ask you for name, description, searcher, and context. The searcher defaults though, so if you miss it, it'll probably be right already.
However, because you don't remember it, I'm pretty sure you will have picked up the default, which should be working for you. It's worth a quick check - edit the field in the custom field list and you should see what you've selected for it.
I'm not sure you should be getting that error message where you seem to be getting it either. Could you try a really simple test? Nip into the advanced search, create a new one and simply start typing "Product ~ " (and then some text you know is in at least one issue). What does that do?
What type of custom field is it? In the configuration, did you select a searcher for it?
Hi Nic!
It is a text type. What do you mean when you say 'select a searcher for it'? How and where can I do this? I've made all configurations, but I don't remember having selected the 'searcher'.
The problem of the searcher was solved. The searcher was selected like 'none'. Now I've selected the option 'Multi Select Searcher' and did the test you've mentioned. It worked! Thanks.
Due to the situation above, I took a look at all my CFs and I realized that one of them, called 'version' (selec list - single choice), has almost the same problem.
This CF allows the user to select (or not) a determined value. When the user leaves the field empty, the default value is 'none'. Here's the problem. I tried to search some issues with the query "version is not EMPTY" and it worked perfectly. I got a lot of issues that was created with the CF 'version' filled out.
When I tried the query "version is Empty", the search didn't bring anything. What do you think?
Ah, good we've got the cause. I think the error message could be better (i.e. "no way to search" instead of "not valid for project")
For the version question, we probably need to see the full queries to be sure what's going on, not just the version clause.
Any idea?
On which bit of the question?
It isn't working yet. I can't find my issues with the CF empty.
I have created a CF where an user can create an issue without filling it up. But, when I try to search this empty field I can't find it. The system doesn't show it.
This CF is shown in a Dashboard and its value appears as 'None', once the user left it blank during the create process of the issue. When I click on the link 'None', a blank search is displayed. So, the system couldn't find the issues with CF blank.
Now the CF appears as "Irrelevant" and I can't find my issues through the search.
