Removing prior values of custom field from an issue

Sonu Bhatia

I created a custom field (free text format) and entered a value in that field for specific story tickets. However, when I clear that value on some of the tickets and create a filter by that value, it includes the story tickets where that value was previously entered.

How can I hide the tickets where this value no longer exists?

A few questions:

is "CMR #[Short text]" ~ CR-03967 the entirety of your JQL query or is there more?
Does that field CMR #[Short text] contain a lot of text, and you want the filter to pick the issue up if "CR-03967" is in there somewhere? Or does it only contain the CR-##
- If the field ONLY contains the "CR-03967" you could try switching your operator from ~ to =

Tou mentioned "while the 3rd one now shows blank value in the list" so you could also append AND "CMR #[Short text]" is not null
to your query.

Hi Sonu - Can you share an example? Because it should definitely not show issues in a filter that that have no value in the field and the filter is based on the field. Can you share the filter?

Hi John, here is the JQL I used: "CMR #[Short text]" ~ CR-03967

This filter lists 3 Jira ticket.....2 of them still have the CMR # custom field tagged with the value of "CR-03967", while the 3rd one now shows blank value in the list, but is still part of the filter list.

So it seems like once a value is input in this custom field, even if it is removed later, it is still part of that ticket and pulls it up during filter search.

This sounds like it might be a caching issue with your browser. But let's do this

Run the JQL and include the custom field in the columns displayed. And then do a screenshot and post here.

Thanks Padraik......adding "CMR #[Short text]" is not null to my existing query worked in hiding the ticket where CMR field was blank. Appreciate your suggestion!!!
