How to find duplicate cards based on summary?

[Jack Brickey · Accepted solution]

Hi @Alberto Torrejón ,

it isn't exactly clear what your requirements are, but let me start by offering the following.

you could use JQL to determine if there are issues with similar summaries. For example, let's say you get an issue in with a summary of "when I did this I got error message 555". I could then write any one of the following JQL queries to find similar issues:

• summary ~  "when I did this I got error message 555"
• summary ~  "error message 555"
• summary ~  "555"

Each of the above would return a different set of results. If you could provide more precise use case and requirements we might be able to zero in better.

I updated the question. The idea is that I can mark those cards that are twice on the board depending on what is written in their summary.

There isn't a means of automatically identifying "duplicates". I know that JSM has a feature "similar requests" but it isn't a true "duplicate" feature and AFAIK this is not available in JWM.

Hello, @Alberto Torrejón  👋

Your question is very brief, Alberto. So, it is possible (if not likely) that you may have already tried "the basics" -- like learning how to conduct an advanced search with JQL in Jira Work Management.

Then again, maybe you are early in your Atlassian journey.

Assuming this is all new to you the JQL you would want to use would look something like:

        summary ~ <keyword> OR description ~ <keyword>

If this response it not helpful, perhaps you could add more detail about what how you are currently trying to solve for this use case.

Best,
