Board Search - How to search for task criteria

Maya Zimmerman
Maya Zimmerman August 26, 2012

Our search board contains tasks which all have an external reference ID, which you can see, when you enter a task. We would like to be able to search for a task using this external reference ID. Is there a possibility? At the moment it is only possible to search with the Jira ID.

Hi, unfortunately this is not possible. As per https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/GH/Searching+for+Issues+on+a+Classic+Board you can only search for the issue key, or the numeric part of the issue key or any text in comments/description/summary of the issue.

You can use contexts to filter/highlight issues though as per https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/GH/Using+Contexts+to+Filter+and+Highlight+Issues
