Search in labels field using wildcards

[marta eaton]

I have tried to run a jql in Jira using a wildcard search in the Labels field but doesn't seem to work. Example of my query:

project = Lollypop AND labels in ("CR*", "GSR*", "AESP*") AND  updated >= -1w order by updated DESC

Any idea?

Thank you

I believe you're only going to be able to do this with an add-on, with standard Jira you won't be able to do it

OH DEAR, it's such a simple one really. thanks anyway.

Which addon allows it?

[Oskar Austegard]

ScriptRunner for one - See https://mraddon.blog/2018/11/19/jql-trick-how-to-search-for-labels-with-a-wildcard-expression-in-jira-server/

With Jira in the cloud is there any solution?

In case it saves anyone some time, I posted the Scriptrunner expression in this thread

Hi @marta eaton ,

Standard JQL doesn't easily allow searching for exact words, special phrases and patterns.

You may consider using our professional indexing service:

• JQL Search Extensions

After you install the app you can simply search:

issue in wildcardMatch("labels", "CR*")

Check out the documentation for more information.

I hope this helps!
