How to filter projects with a special prefix in the name

Question

I need to filter all tasks/issues belonging to a specific group of projects, filtering them through project's name prefix.

EX:

Project 1 : "PRE1_namefirst"

Project 2 : "PRE1_namesecond"

Project 3 : "PRE2_namethird"

RESULT : all tasks belonging to project1 and 2, but NOT the project3

If you happen to have the ScriptRunner app installed, it has a handy projectMatch function that can be used for this purpose.

e.g. project in projectMatch("^PRJ.*")

Hi @samantha.passardi,

You cannot do fuzzy searches on project names. As a workaround, you might consider using the project category (which you can set on each Project via project settings > details. It then allows you to search on category = PRE1 (just continuing from your example here).

Project categories can be defined by your Jira Administrator.

Hope this helps!
