why is issueFieldExactMatch() not working with any regex?

[SWAPNIL SRIVASTAV]

I need to perform EXACT search. I am using below query:

issueFunction in issueFieldExactMatch("project = ABC and issuetype=DE", "summary", "FGH")

and it is returning correctly the issues with summary "FGH", but I want to list issues with summary "fgh" also.

I cannot use issueFieldMatch() because that would give results with nearby values as well like "fghij" or "ABCFGH".

I need to perform exact search but it should be case-INsensitive.

Also, any search with regular expression in issueFieldExactMatch() is not working, I do not uderstand why is that. As per documentation

below JQL should work:

issueFunction in issueFieldExactMatch("project = ABC and issuetype = DE", "Summary", "^T.st$")

I have issue with Summary "Test" but it is not giving any results.

Kindly help

Hello @Dan27

You can get it via changeHistoryManager like this

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue

// Uncomment this to test is script console and place correct issue key
//MutableIssue issue = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().getIssueObject("TEST-1")

def changeHistoryManager = ComponentAccessor.getChangeHistoryManager()
def history = changeHistoryManager.getChangeItemsForField(issue, "Epic Link")
if (history.size()>1){
    def prevousEpicLink = history.last().fromString
    log.error("prevous epic: ${prevousEpicLink}")
}

Perfect Thanks ! :) @Mark Markov

No, How can I set this prevousEpicLink to the Epic Link field ?

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue

// Uncomment this to test is script console and place correct issue key
//MutableIssue issue = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().getIssueObject("TEST-1")

def changeHistoryManager = ComponentAccessor.getChangeHistoryManager()
def history = changeHistoryManager.getChangeItemsForField(issue, "Epic Link")
def customField = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectByName("Epic Link")
def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()
if (history.size()>1){
    def prevousEpicLink = history.last().fromString
    log.error("prevous epic: ${prevousEpicLink}")
    def epicIssue = issueManager.getIssueObject(prevousEpicLink)
    issue.setCustomFieldValue(customField, epicIssue)
    issueManager.updateIssue(null, issue, EventDispatchOption.DO_NOT_DISPATCH, false)
}
