How do I search for a slash '/' in a text field?

[Joseph Michaud]

Various attempts at escaping do not seem to work.  For example, I'd like to search for the term '/browser' (no quotes).

I followed your lead here but found the solution by removing the unwanted fields from .../secure/views/isssue/logwork.jsp. I'm not sure why changing the content in the .../worklog-edit.vm you referred to did not affect the rendered screens (even after restart).

The nice thing about changing jsp's is that they re-render on change and no restart is needed.

Modifying the /worklog-edit.vm also did not affect the rendered screens for me, I had to do the .jsp

I changed the JSP and nothing happens, even after restart.

Doesn't it work anymore now in 2018?

You may try editing templates/jira/issue/field/worklog-edit.vm and remove the fields you do not need. I don't like this solution, but that's the only I can think of.

It may do the trick - think it will detect the change without a restart? Any way way to preflight it in a sandbox?

[Boris Georgiev [Appfire]]

I think it will not detect it without restart, so you have two options:

1. Run a test instance using atlas-run-standalone command from the SDK
2. Take a look here of how to make the changes without restarting JIRA https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/20058/updating-activating-velocity-template-changes-without-jira-restart

Hi there,
I am working on JIRA v7.1.9, and updating the worklog-edit.vm to remove the Work Description field has no effect, even after a restart of the service.
Is there any step I am missing ?
Thank you.
