Advanced searching - development fields reference

If you've linked your development tools to Jira, you can now search by even more parameters when performing a search. Adding development information to your JQL gives you more visibility of your development tools in one place, Jira. This lets you make better informed decisions on your development and work, helps you build a better, more reliable release pipeline, and ensures you deliver higher quality releases to your happy customers.

JQL is made up of clauses, and in a clause, a field is followed by an operator, which in turn is followed by one or more values (or functions). The operator compares the value of the field with one or more values or functions on the right, such that only true results are retrieved by the clause.

To use development fields in your JQL, you would enter something like this in an advanced search:

fixVersion = 7.8.0 AND development[pullrequests].open > 0

This would return all issues with a fix version of 7.8.0, and that have open pull requests linked to them. How about how many builds are failing in your project? Try:

project = ABC AND development[builds].failing > 0

The following development fields can be used in JQL:
