Hello,
I'd like to ask your help about a configuration change or guidance regarding error handling in our Jira Data Center environment.
Currently, when we send a REST API request with an invalid JQL query, the response includes detailed error messages like the following:
<<<Request>>>
curl ^"https://a........../rest/api/latest/search?jql=1234'\^%\^20\~\^%\^20\^%\^22\^%\^27\^%\^22\^&fields=summary\^%\^2Cissuetype\^%\^2Ccomment\^%\^2Cparent\^%\^2Cstatus\^&startAt=0\^&maxResults=20\^" ^

<<<Response>>>
{
"errorMessages": [
"Error in the JQL Query: Expecting operator but got ' ~ \"'. The valid operators are '=', '!=', '<', '>', '<=', '>=', '~', '!~', 'IN', 'NOT IN', 'IS' and 'IS NOT'. (line 1, character 5)"
],
"errors": {}
}
For security and usability reasons, we would like to suppress these detailed error messages and instead return a more generic error response (e.g., "Invalid request").
Thank you for your help.
