Hi, here is the syntax in JQL :

Filter = 10002 AND (the rest of your request here)

To find the number of your filter, go to the "View all filters page", find the filter you want to reference and hover over it, you should find the number like this :

Hi @木尧青

You can't add a filter per se to any custom field. However some automatic filtering (of some sort) takes place in certain custom fields, like the single select. If you choose this field and then you start typing the first letters of a value, then you will see that the chosen value of the field will change. Of course this mean that the user must know what to type :/

If you are using a single select field, you could use a cascade select to group your options and narrow down the choices for the users.
