Hi, In a previous role I always used the freeform query box to search issues in jira as a user, and found the search sidebar really painful and not rewarding. Complex queries cannot be created. Now I am in a new project, and have admin rights to jira v3.12.3 ... Is this feature available either in jira 3.12.3, or as a plug in for 3.12.3, or was it introduced for a later version?

I want to use JQL freeform query box in jira 3.12.3

In the new JIRA version, how to change EPIC color?

On my backlog, I used to see different EPICs in different colors (easy way to group user stories). I don't have anymore this possibility.

Thanks.

No. JQL doesn't exist in version 3.

If you want any of this functionality, you either need to rewrite Jira 3's entire search system, or upgrade to version 4 or above.

Ouch!! That just made life a little more complex...

Yup - the main reason for version 4 was the introduction of JQL from what I could see! It included a lot of other stuff too, but ripping out the entire search engine and effectively writing a new one was the main point. Even the "simple" search in version 4 isn't what it was before, all it really does now is quietly translate the parameters into JQL in the background!
