How to perform an advanced search to find exact results related to a short text field value

example : project = Devops and vessel name (short text) ~ willie

only willie related exact results are needed, not other related willie b willie joe

"How can I perform an advanced search in Jira to find exact matches for a short text field value? For example, I want to search within the 'Devops' project for issues where the 'Vessel Name' field (a short text field) is exactly 'Willie', without returning results that include variations like 'Willie B' or 'Willie Joe'."

Hi Navee,

Please try:

project = "Devops" AND "vessel name" ~ "\"willie\""

Thanks for quick response.

It's not working, results willie b and Willie Joe values appeared.

Required only Willie value results

You can also try: project = "Devops" AND "Vessel Name" = "Willie"

"=" not working short text field.

Hi @naveen arroju

You are correct that the "=" operator is not working with your custom field. Even if you try to use something different the only options that you will be given are ~ and IS and IS NOT. Even from the JQL Extensions app, the results are the same. Screenshot 2024-08-26 at 10.00.01.png
