jira development field is not available

[aedu]

when i'm trying to query something from the development stuff i got the following error:
JQL query:
project = ABC AND development[pullrequests].open > 0

error-message:
Field 'development' does not exist or you do not have permission to view it.

i'm logged in as jira administrator, so there should be no permission-restriction.

we are running jira server 8.2.2

during further investigation i recognized, that field named "devstatus.customfield.development.name" has the correct behavior... but why this is labeled like this?

@aedu Can you share a full example of what you got to work? I am trying 

"devstatus.customfield.development[pullrequests].all" > 0

"devstatus.customfield.development.pullrequests.all" > 0

and both result in the error "devstatus.customfield.development[pullrequests].all does not exist or you do not have permission to view it"

I also tried the original syntax "development[pullrequests].all" > 0 with no success.
