Filtering in the comment of a bug

Xavier Gully April 28, 2013

I would like to exclude some bugs where the comments contain a fix string : "Not targeted for XXX".

However I also use the string "Targeted for XXX"

I use the following query :

issuetype = Bug AND project = "XYZ" AND comment ~ " \"Not targeted for XXX\""

It seems that it returns all the bugs which have both string "Targeted for XXX" and "Not targeted for XXX". How could it be possible ? How could it be differentiate ?
Thanks

Hi Xavier,

Maybe it's better to use labels instead of comments: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Labelling+an+Issue

Then you can filter issues just clicking by a tag name.

I was thinking about this as well, and I think this is the best option. Thanks :)

Hi,

Have you try this issuetype = Bug AND project = "XYZ" AND comment !~ " \"Not targeted for XXX\""

Good Luck

This returns me too many results because all the Bugs do not have this comment :(
