JQL in Automation returns zero results while Advanced search JQL returns 2 results

Inna S

Hi,

I'm trying to read a field value from an issue in a project.

I know the project name, but the issue has to be looked up by one of its fields.

Using Automation 'Lookup Issues' action I type the same JQL used in the advanced search:

project = myproject.

Advanced search returns 2 issues, the Lookup inside Automation returns zero.

I've tried double quotes, project name, project key, project id. Nothing works.

Any idea how to get there?

Thank you.

Hi @Inna S do you have an OR statement in your Advanced search?

Hi @Inna S

For a question like this, please post images of your rule and the audit log details showing the execution. That will provide context for the community to offer suggestions.

Without that information, I wonder...

Your JQL references a Jira project. Is your rule defined in a different project? If so, the rule cannot "see" the issues as they are out of scope.

Or if your rule is defined as multi-project, is the project referenced in the JQL defined in the rule details/configuration?

Kind regards,
Bill

Hi @Craig Nodwell

No, reduced to the single (project = myproj).

Hi @Bill Sheboy

The rule is defined as a multi-project, listing both, the project where the automation will run and the other project where the issue of interest resides.

But the query generated has the "original" project, and the one I'm interested in.

(project in (10007)) AND ((project = MYPROJ))

Bill Sheboy

Please try changing that to include both projects using IN:

project IN (10007, MYPROJ)

Otherwise no issues will match as they cannot be in both projects at one time.

I do not get to define this query, I can only observe it after the validation is executed and presents the link to results.
