Filter test executions by linked issue in Comment field?

Question

Hello!

I need a simple or advanced JQL for filtering linked issues in the Comment field in the test execution details screen. Those issues are manually entered as a comment in the test run, as Execution details field is not much suitable for our project.

Thank you for your answer!

Thanks @efavreau for your answer!

While your suggestion might be useful for issue tickets, I was referring to another 'Comment' section. This one is located in the test execution details screen. Attaching a screenshot for better visibility.

Welcome @Monika Mit

You might need to provide some more details. Being new, it might be difficult to understand what's relevant or not in a JQL query. Sometimes the best thing is to look at one of the issues that you would like to find by using a JQL query, and use it for answers.

When you find such an issue... pay attention to the names of things, and see if you can't use those names to answer the query I will list below. Clearly, I don't know the values of your project, status, and possible comments, so here's a guess to move you forward. Hopefully, it makes enough sense to you, that this is an acceptable answer.

project = "YourProjectHere" AND (status = "OPEN" OR status = "ON HOLD") AND comment ~ "something you are looking for in the comment goes between these double quotes"

This page has a lot of good stuff in it, and may help also: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/App-Central/How-to-search-comments-in-Jira-without-JQL/ba-p/2572127

Good luck!
