When to enter quotes around a field in jql

Joanna Hibbert
Joanna Hibbert March 13, 2019

These are jql examples from https://www.atlassian.com/blog/jira-software/jql-the-most-flexible-way-to-search-jira-14

Why are there quotes around the name of the field in the first query, but not the second?

"Story Points" >= 5

reporter = jsmith AND project = Pipeline

 

Thank you

Any field name or data value that contains spaces needs to be surrounded in quotes.
