Sio I want an exact match when using the contains operator in a JQL query.
key = TEST-36 AND summary ~ "__SPU__"
However this seems to return anything with SPU also regardless of capitalization!
How to get an exact match?
Hi Timothy,
this is not possible with current Jira versions. There is an open issue for that:
https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-21372
Maybe you want to vote for it.
sigh...
OK, well since I am calling it from script runner then I can use a regex to make sure it matches.
But it is really irritating that the issue referenced has been open for 7 years. This should be supported by JQL :-(
Thanks for the reply!
I have the exact requirement. Timothy, can you please elaborate on "calling it from script runner".
Thanks,
I love how this entire community is filled with posts that describe an issue, and they are all "solved" with the solution being "you can't do that".
I wish I could upvote this 1000x more
@alexkoffler , you can't do that.

@Julian from AF
I have been reading documentation for days now trying to get scriptrunner setup. Any advice to help me get it working?
Hi @Joshua Hopkins ,
Yes see my screenshot :
In my case i use it in Jira Automation and it's working fine.
To help you, you can use the website https://regex101.com/ to construct your regex if you need more than an exact match. To have an exact match, just put your text between ^and $ as shown but with regex101.com you can construct more precise.
Is it clear for you?
Should not the accepted answer - took me unnecessary time to read everything here to finally find (at least for me) the working solution further down.
