Help with JQL query - quotation marks

Louise Pancholi

Hello, I'm trying to search for subtasks of issues with certain criteria. The criteria I want to search for contain custom fields with spaces, so I need to use quotation marks, however JIRA interprets this as finishing the 'subtasksOf' statement. Is there a different way I can write the query, without using a plugin?

Example:

issueFunction in subtasksOf("project = PRJ AND issuetype = Story AND status not in (Closed) AND component in ("Salesforce Service Cloud")")

Hi there,

Try this:

issueFunction in subtasksOf("project = PRJ AND issuetype = Story AND status not in (Closed) AND component in (\"Salesforce Service Cloud\")")

So you should use \" to escape that character.

Best Regards.

I agree with @Deniz Tımartaş but you could also reference filters inside filters

Create a first filter with project = PRJ AND issuetype = Story AND status not in (Closed) AND component in ("Salesforce Service Cloud") and check the ID on the URL

Ater that create a second filter issueFunction in subtasksOf("filter = 123123"). Replace 123123 with the ID of the previus filter.

If the filter get's more complex it's simpler to use this way.
