How to search in profields if some field is empty or null?

[amandavarella]

Hi,

I´m trying to find if any of my projects have some empty profields value. I´ve tried many queries, but without success

project in profieldsOperator("Número do Contrato", "IS", "EMPTY")

project in profieldsOperator("Número do Contrato", "IS", "NULL")

project in profieldsOperator("Número do Contrato", "=", "null")

project in profieldsOperator("Número do Contrato", "=", "")

None of these is working.

What should I do?

Thank you

Hi,
"Profields" does not support empty argument in the profieldsOperator.
Which version of Profields are you using?
Probably you can mark the Profields field as a custom field and the you can use the standard jql to search the issues.

profieldsOperator is an obsolete function and probably it will be removed in next versions.

Carlos, thank you for answer, it works for me.

Could you specify, is it a good practice to make all profields as custom fields and is here any dissadavantages for making profield as custom field.

We recommend that only set the Profields that you need to use at issue level. The Profields fields that you mark as custom field should be synchronized with the issue custom field each time it is changed.

The documentation says the IS operator is supported, so your first example should be the correct one.

When you say "without success", what exactly do you mean? You get an error? You get incorrect results? You get 0 results?

When I use project in profieldsOperator("Some field", "IS", "Empty") I get 0 results. I have tried different variants for 3th parametr: EMPTY.
