Field value does not auto populate in JQL search

[Nari Man]

I have created a custom field (named "Dev Team") of type Select List (single choice). This field works fine other than in JQL when I enter "Dev Team" = L   I expect the field values starting with L to show, but they don't. 

This character matching of values works for other fields just fine. But not for this one. 

Any ideas?

thanks

Sounds like this is caused by https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-35126

Does the field have a searcher?

[Nari Man]

Multi Select Searcher

Ok, cross that idea off the list.

Did you complete a re-index yet?

[Nari Man]

I think the IT guy has done that. But to be safe I will have him do a full reindex again.

[Nari Man]

take that back, IT guys says he did reindex last week.

Are you using different contexts for this custom field?

[Nari Man]

to be frank, I do not get Context much at all. The context for Dev Team field is 2 projects and several issues types. I am not sure why it would matter though.

[Udo Brand]

If you have two different contexts (one for issue type A in Project B and one as default for all other projects) then JQL will only autocomplete values only from the default (if I remember it correct)

[Nari Man]

Looking at the custom field > Dev Team I see one context defined. Issue type(s): Design Story Bug Sprint Task Epic Task Sub-task Business Story Project(s): A B Dev team has a default value.

[Nari Man]

I also removed Project B from context. Still no luck.

[Udo Brand]

Not sure if it will help, but can you add an additional clause like issuetype = Bug. So JQL knows that it can use that context.

[Nari Man]

I did this JQL with no luck project = A and issuetype = Bug and "Dev Team" = whatever I typed didnt to auto fill
