Search Issues

After a searcher has been set for the database custom field, you can perform a search for all issues containing the desired value for that custom field.

For a detailed explanation on searching issues in JIRA, you can check the Searching for Issues tutorial from the JIRA documentation.

Search operation can be performed based on main database custom fields, as well as on child database custom fields.

Basically, to perform an issue search based on a database custom field value, you will use the Issue Navigator:

Custom fields can be searched, as you can see in the bottom part of the navigator panel, but note that they will only appear in the search form on the left when appropriate. That is:

• Custom fields that relate to a particular project will only appear in the search form after you choose that project.
• Custom fields that relate to a particular issue type will only appear in the search form after you choose that issue type.

After introducing the desired value to search for in the database custom field (as simple text value), and selecting any other needed filters, press the search button.

All issues containing the searched value for that database custom field will be displayed in the right part of the search panel, as it is shown in the screenshot above.
