JQL question

Question

I am struggling with something simple.. I want to filter out a few issues which have XX in front of the description line and sort all issues by Desc ( description) . How would I use JQL for that ?

sort by Desc AND issue not like "XX" does not work.

Any ideas ?

Hello Tailor,

You can get the result using JQL Search Extensions.

issue in regex("description", "XX*") order by description

This jql will matches issues with description field starting with XX

The full documentation can be found here.
