Check if a specific option in a checkbox was checked

Question

Hi There

I have a checkbox named "Delivery Span" with multiple options (FY23: Q3, FY23: Q4, FY24: Q1)

The user is to select the expected time span of an initiative, thus one, two or all three checkbox options can be selected.

As an example, I want to list (JQL) all initiatives that has "FY23: Q4" checked, regardless of the status of any other checked options.

"Delivery Span" = "FY23: Q4", does not work

"Delivery Span" ~ "FY23: Q4", does not work

"Delivery Span" is not Empty, works but it is not what I need.

I cannot use scripts, nor any add-ons since I am using an enterprise cloud Jira application without admin rights.

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Regards

Marius

Morning Danielle

I manage to sort out the issue but let me try and provide better context.

Thanks for replying!

Setup

* Epic Name = "Program"
* Checkbox in issuetype "Program" = "Delivery Span" or cf[10781]
* "Delivery Span" options "FY23: Q3, FY23: Q4, FY24: Q1.......++"
* Multiple options can be checked in "Delivery Span"

Objective (Single example)

* List all issues of issuetype "Program" where "Delivery Span" includes "FY23: Q4", but might or might not have more than one checkbox option selected.

Applied Syntax

* "Delivery Span" = "FY23: Q4", does not work
* "Delivery Span" ~ "FY23: Q4", does not work
* "Delivery Span" is not Empty, works but it is not what I need.

Solution

"Delivery Span[Checkboxes]" = FY23Q4

"Delivery Span" = FY23Q4

Problem

IO error (Idiot Operator):-). The quick controller in the dashboard listed the options using a : & a space whereas the checkbox did not. aka, "FY23: Q4" vs FY23Q4

Hi Marius

Can you please give more information on 'does not work' or 'is not what you need' - what results do you actually get for each of the examples:

"Delivery Span" = "FY23: Q4", does not work

"Delivery Span" ~ "FY23: Q4", does not work

"Delivery Span" is not Empty, works but it is not what I need.

We can then try and help you

Thanks
