JQL - componentMatch does not work with number + *

Question

Hi team,

One of our user request that "componentMatch" does not work properly.

Below are the JQL that my user used.

project = "Q Event 16" AND component in (componentMatch("55UJ5*"))
project = "Q Event 16" AND component in (componentMatch("55UJ6*"))
project = "Q Event 16" AND component in (componentMatch("55UJ7*"))

All three JQL queries show same result, so it looks like number + * does not work properly.

Our component looks like this "55UJ650V-ZA.AEUYLHX_SW_VAL(1)_Software_1610-00068".

Does anyone know why it works like this, and how to get proper result?

Thank you.

Exactly right, thanks Petar. Unfort it's a bit confusing because it's different from the wildcards used elsewhere in Lucene.

See the documentation for ScriptRunner. You should be using Java regular expressions.

If you want to match a beginning of string you should use:

componentMatch("^55UJ5.*")
