Search on a custom filed

Dennis_H

(Cloud) I'm trying to create a search filter based on issue status and the text of a custom field. Can I do that? every time I try something I get no results, but I'm looking at the field and there is matching text in the field.

 

Here is what I have:

 

status = Open AND "sequence" ~ "8.8.8.123"  

 

The custom field sequence has that exact # in it yet the search turns up empty.

@Dennis_H,

Since it looks like "Sequence" is the name of the field you  should remove the quotations from it. Also, make sure that the field is one of the following types:

• Free Text Field (unlimited text)
• Text Field (< 255 characters)
• Read-only Text Field

 

Hope this helps, 

-Scott

 

Edit: it needs to be one of those types because you are using the CONTAINS operator, here's a link to the operator types if you need it:
