can not query reserved character:square bracket [ ] in summary in jira 4.4.1

for example i have for jira issue with summary like follows,

amoi4.0
[amoi4.0]support
amoi4.0- fewat
[amoi4.0] not

1 and i can use summary ~ "amoi4.0" to search out the above four issues,

2 but use summary ~ "amoi4.0\\]" ,there is no result.

3 or use summary ~ "amoi4.0\]" ,it will say

Error in the JQL Query: '\]' is an illegal JQL escape sequence. The valid escape sequences are \', \", \t, \n, \r, \\, '\ ' and \uXXXX. (line 1, character 19)

why ?

hi,Thomas-S

you mean summary ~ "\\[" doesn't work because of JIRA's bug ?

and we have no resolution now?

Thomas Schlegel

seems so :-(

hi,Thomas-S

i met another problem,i can not use number in query (summary ~ "4.0") using one of my jira server A,the query result is empty.

but on another jira server B i can search out issues with summary contains "4.0".

i don't know what's wrong with the jira server A.

all my jira server version is 4.4.1

Have you tried using this trick?

issueFunction in issueFieldMatch("project=ABC", "summary", "\\[BA\\]")
