Can I use var within a JQL?

Question

Hi,

I am looking for a way to set a global var within my JIRA query so it will dynamically change from page to page according to the value the user will enter to the var for each page.

I didn't see so far any solution in Confluence except expensive plugins that I can't do for the moment.

Any help?

Thanks,
Aviya

Hello,

Natively in jira there are some options for variables in JQL such as "assignee = currentuser()" or "updated after startofday()" but these are going to be based off of static system variables and there are not options to change based on a user input, if you wanted to do this you would need to look into an add-on that could script the desired changes such as ScriptRunner as described in this previous post:
