Text JQL functions
JQL functions are accessible from the Extended Search page or Extended Search filters in Jira advanced search. When using functions, the issues returned are based on the subquery defined in parentheses.
exactTextMatch()
Matches issues that contain the text in the summary, description, or environment fields. Takes a case-sensitive text as an argument.
Exampleissue in exactTextMatch("text")
exactTextMatchCaseInsensitive()
This function is similar to exactTextMatch() but is case-insensitive.
Exampleissue in exactTextMatchCaseInsensitive("tExT") matches issues with TEXT, Text, tEXT etc.
wildcardMatch()
Matches issues with a field containing a specified text (case-sensitive). You can use the asterisk (*) to match any text.
Examplesissue in wildcardMatch("summary", "Hello*")issue in wildcardMatch("fixVersion", "12.0*")issue in wildcardMatch("labels", "*Marketing*")issue in wildcardMatch("component", "Business*")issue in wildcardMatch("category", "MyOrg*")
The asterisk can be placed anywhere in the text – you can even place more than one.
regex()
Use the full power of regular expressions to match field values. Regular expressions are strict and case-sensitive.
You can use backslashes to escape special characters. The underlying implementation is using JavaScript syntax for regular expressions.
Examples
issue in regex("summary", "^Hello.*") matches issues with summaries starting withissue in regex("fixVersion", "12.[0-5]") matches issues with versions from 12.0 to 12.5issue in regex("labels", "Marketing$")matches issues with labels that end with Marketingissue in regex("component", "Business.*")issue in regex("category", "MyOrg.*")issue in regex("Acceptance checklist", "can proceed") matches issues that have any checkbox with can proceed checkedissue in regex("Custom cascading select list", "- Georgia") matches issues with a cascading select field with Georgia as a child value
