JQL query with attribute "fixedVersion" that starts with a specific value

[Stéphane Dion]

Hi,

The "component" attribute in our Jira is not always set so we would like to use the fixedVersion attribute in Jira to determine the component.  If the fixedVersion attribute starts with the value "XX", I know that it's the component XYZ.

  How can we have a JQL that will be like : fixedVersion startsWith "XX"?

Thanks for your help

Something like this may be what you seek:

fixVersion ~ "XX*"

~ indicates "contains", and * is the wildcard character.

No, it's not working on an attribute with a list of possible values.

I'm getting the following error: The value 'XX*' does not exist for the field 'fixVersion', even if it exists.

Just found out that we are on an old version 6.4.13!   :-(

Ah, yes, this functionality was added in version 7.9.0.

Here's something else to try, found in https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/JQL-wildcard-search-of-version-list-like-fixVersion/qaq-p/420721

Type ff:XX* in the Quick Search box up top.
