Update the JQL query/get values to JQL from Custom Field Values

Vinay Dasari_140m9t

Hi All,

I am thinking is there any way to update the JQL query based on the custom field values.

for example: I have custom field "Teams" which is single select drop down field and it has options as "Developers" "Testers". 

so for now we had manually entered JQL - Project="Test" AND Issuetype = "EPIC" AND Teams in "Developers, Testers" and will get the issues.

but the requirement is in upcoming days, we might add few other values like "Operations" etc to Teams custom field associated to multiple projects. Instead of updating manual in JQL can Teams fields values be extracted/updated in JQL query automatically when ever new values found in Teams Custom Field?

Heya @Vinay Dasari

It sounds like you are editing the JQL via the JQL search but if you want to edit the JQL without having to re-write the whole JQL, then select the basic search on the left and you can easily change the custom field values for your JQL there! You can refer to the documentation which shows the difference between the JQL search and the basic search!
