Hi @Mélanie Liguet ,

Thank you for your question.
If you are searching for DEPRO-686 it is just required to write the following jql:

summary ~ "DEPRO-686" (without \")

If you are searching for "DEPRO-686":

summary ~ "\"DEPRO-686\""

If you are searching for [DEPRO]:

summary ~ "\\[DEPRO\\]"

Hope it helps

I replicated the same work item and jql and for me it works:

Try to debug the jql removing piece by piece

Hi @Mélanie Liguet

Try project = iss and summary ~ "DEPRO-686*"

This as the Summary states DEPRO-686-TEST

Mélanie Liguet

I found
a dash had slipped behind xxx-686-
If I remove the dash, it works.

Thank you very much for your help.
