Unable to search the epics that are having the / or - in the epic name or summary

Question

Hi Community,

We've a JIRA project for maintiaining the epics. The epic name is like this QTC-OE-B0001 (or) QTC/OE/B0001 and summary also we're adding epic name. However I've noticed that when I try to search the issue with this, it can find the issue.

If I try until QTC- then can display search list but if I enter QTC-OE then couldn't able to findout the issue at all. May I know does there restrictin in search functionality?

Regards,

Praveen

Hi @Praveen Chitturi

I found the error why the search is not working.

It's because of the hyphen in the text field

There's an open feature request to fix this issue

Please mark the answer as accepted

Thanks,

But epic name is mandatory / key used through out the prjoect already. Though I put the epic name QTC-BE-A0001 in the epic summary also can't search with these.

It's not searchable with Epic name

Search with Epic key
