Hello,
Consider that I have user stories with names like the following
That is, the text sometimes has hyphens between words, sometimes spaces, sometimes both.
I want to write a query that finds all of them. If I search
issuetype = Story AND text ~ "pictures"
I do not see the ones where a hyphen connects "pictures" to preceding text.
How can I write a query that finds all of them?
Hey @edburns and @Alex Koxaras _Relational_ :
Aren't story names in the Summary? When I did some testing with just "2*pictures" it matched this test issue "Need New Part - Part number 2".
Hrm, weird that the * picks that up, despite the "pictures".
If you can are able to constrain your search to this decade (2020-2029), that might help at least narrow it down bit. (See below.)
Also, I think you'd need a .* in there somewhere.
issuetype=Story and summary ~ "202?.*pictures"
But yeah this still matches this Summary:
Do this thing by 2022-02-22
So it also seems that you can't constrain "fuzzy" searches (that use the ~ character) to the beginning of the string.
I'm sure this has been covered somewhere beyond the official docs... let's see.
Ah yeah, here's the relevant bug:
You can use regular expressions in the issueFieldMatch JQL function in its ScriptRunner Enhanced Search but that would require purchasing that add-on. Also, ScriptRunner search is a little different, since you can't use those functions directly in Jira searches.
Hi @edburns
If your text has a year in front of the work picture, then you can use the:
text ~ "2*pictures"
But you can't place the "*" in front of "pictures".
