Problems creating a filter..

[NickW]

Hi All

Is it possible to have a query that finds all bugs opened in a release that were closed during that release?

I have tried:

project in (myProj1, myProj2, myProj3, myProj4 AND issuetype = Bug

status = Open AND created >= 2012-10-20 AND created <= 2013-04-12

AND

Status = Closed AND updated >= 2012-10-20 AND updated <= 2013-04-12

I tried putting brackets in but these get removed.

Does JIRA keep hold of historical state data???

Thanks

Nick

Hey nick, if I remembered correctly, it seems to be related to the new version of JIRA which the bracket were removed from the JQL. You may want to refer to this improvement ticket: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-31088

It shouldn't affect the search result if not mistaken.

By the way, the JQL seems a little not right. Try the following instead:

project in (myProj1, myProj2, myProj3, myProj4) AND issuetype = Bug status in (Open,Closed) AND created >= 2012-10-20 AND created <= 2013-04-12 AND AND updated >= 2012-10-20 AND updated <= 2013-04-12

Thanks Teck.

This achieves half of what i want... in that it returns all the bugs opened and also closed in a given period but I only want to see the closed ones i.e. the results should only show closed bugs from the period that were also opened during that period. Any further ideas?

Just for info...One of your AND's ended up in the wrong place though...

project in (myProj1, myProj2, myProj3, myProj4) AND issuetype = Bug AND status in (Open, Closed) AND created >= 2012-10-20 AND created <= 2013-04-12 AND updated >= 2012-10-20 AND updated <= 2013-04-12 ORDER BY status DESC, created DESC

Hey nick, sorry for the typo earlier. As you looking for the status changed, you can see the changed operator in the advanced search documentation: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Advanced+Searching#AdvancedSearching-CHANGED For example, status CHANGED FROM "In Progress" TO "Open"

Thanks for the advanced searching link... some more bed time reading!

I just tried

project in (a,b,c,d,e,f) AND issuetype = Bug AND status changed FROM "Open" TO "Closed" DURING ("2012/10/20", "2013/04/12")

however this returns nothing and yet I know some issues should be returned e.g. was created in Feb 13 and then closed in mar 13

Hey Nick, I think the changed only looks for entry exactly From Open status to Closed Status. If you have any other status transition in between, it will not show at all.

Works:

Open -> Closed

Not Works:

Open -> In Progress -> Resolved -> Closed

Open -> Resolved -> Closed

Hi Teck, I think you are right. Which is a problem at the moment butour workflow may well change soon anyway and as luck would happen then this will work fine. Many tanks for your help.

I just can't tell how annoying is to read four line long JQL with removed brackets. I don't know who's idea that was, but they should increase a counter every time someone got confused reading a complicated JQL.

Every time the counter reaches another hundred, the line breaks should be removed from the guy's IDE who designed this.
