Currently, there are no specific search templates for custom fields created with JMCF; currently the only search template available is Forge custom field searcher, the default search template for Jira Forge apps. Because JMCF uses native data types, the fields are generally searchable using JQL and basic search. However, there are some differences between search in Jira Data Center and Jira Cloud:

  • Time in Status values are stored in seconds, but can be searched using a variety of representations, including by number of days (days or d), hours (hours or h), minutes (minutes or m), and seconds (seconds or s). This includes combinations of these units. Some examples include:

    • 2days3hours42minutes17seconds

    • 2d3h42m17s - 2 days, 3 hours, 42 minutes, 17 seconds

    • 7h15m- 7 hours, 15 minutes

    • 485903 - 485, 903 seconds

For example, the JQL query TimeInCurrentStatus > 9h30m will search for all issues with a value greater than 9 hours 30 minutes (34200 seconds) in the field TimeInCurrentStatus.

Search template flexibility will be expanded in later versions of JMCF for Jira Cloud as the Forge team introduces more capabilities for search.
