This page describes information about fields that are used for advanced searching. A field in JQL is a word that represents a Jira field (or a custom field that has already been defined in your Jira applications). 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. Note: it is not possible to compare two fields in JQL.

Affected version

Search for issues that are assigned to a particular affects version(s). You can search by version name or version ID (i.e. the number that Jira automatically allocates to a version).Note, it is better to search by version ID than by version name. Different projects may have versions with the same name. It is also possible for your Jira administrator to change the name of a version, which could break any saved filters that rely on that name. Version IDs, however, are unique and cannot be changed.

Syntax
affectedVersion
Field TypeVERSION
Auto-completeYes
Supported operators

= , != , > , >= , < , <= , ~ , !~
IS, IS NOT, IN, NOT IN

  • The comparison operators (e.g. ">") use the version order that has been set up by your project administrator, not a numeric or alphabetic order.
  • For this field, the contain operators (~ and !~) find exact matches, and can be used to search through versions with a wildcard.
Unsupported operators
WAS, WAS IN, WAS NOT, WAS NOT IN, CHANGED
Supported functionsWhen used with the IN and NOT IN operators, this field supports:
  • releasedVersions()
  • latestReleasedVersion()
  • unreleasedVersions()
  • earliestUnreleasedVersion()
Examples
  • Find issues with an AffectedVersion of 3.14:
    affectedVersion = "3.14"
    Note that full-stops are reserved characters and need to be surrounded by quote-marks.
  • Find issues with an AffectedVersion of "Big Ted":
    affectedVersion = "Big Ted"
  • Find issues with an AffectedVersion ID of 10350:
    affectedVersion = 10350

Component

Search for issues that belong to a particular component(s) of a project. You can search by component name or component ID (i.e. the number that Jira automatically allocates to a component).

Note, it is safer to search by component ID than by component name. Different projects may have components with the same name, so searching by component name may return issues from multiple projects. It is also possible for your Jira administrator to change the name of a component, which could break any saved filters that rely on that name.

Search for issues that were created on, before, or after a particular date (or date range). Note that if a time-component is not specified, midnight will be assumed. Please note that the search results will be relative to your configured time zone (which is by default the Jira server's time zone).

Use one of the following formats:

"yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm"
"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm"
"yyyy/MM/dd"
"yyyy-MM-dd"

Or use "w" (weeks), "d" (days), "h" (hours) or "m" (minutes) to specify a date relative to the current time. The default is "m" (minutes). Be sure to use quote-marks ("); if you omit the quote-marks, the number you supply will be interpreted as milliseconds after epoch (1970-1-1).

Custom field

Only applicable if your Jira administrator has created one or more custom fields.

Search for issues where a particular custom field has a particular value. You can search by custom field name or custom field ID (i.e. the number that Jira automatically allocates to an custom field).

Note, it is safer to search by custom field ID than by custom field name. It is possible for a custom field to have the same name as a built-in Jira system field; in which case, Jira will search for the system field (not your custom field). It is also possible for your Jira administrator to change the name of a custom field, which could break any saved filters that rely on that name. Custom field IDs, however, are unique and cannot be changed.

Filter

You can use a saved filter to narrow your search. You can search by filter name or filter ID (i.e. the number that Jira automatically allocates to a saved filter).

Note:

  • It is safer to search by filter ID than by filter name. It is possible for a filter name to be changed, which could break a saved filter that invokes another filter by name. Filter IDs, however, are unique and cannot be changed.
  • An unnamed link statement in your typed query will override an ORDER BY statement in the saved filter.
  • You cannot run or save a filter that would cause an infinite loop (i.e. you cannot reference a saved filter if it eventually references your current filter).

Issue link type

Issue linking allows you to create associations between issues on either the same or different Jira servers. For example, an issue may duplicate another issue or depend on the resolution of another issue. You can find detailed information about issue links in Configuring issue linking.

When searching for issues with a particular link type, you can only find linked issues that are on the same Jira instance you're searching on. Links to issues on a remote Jira instance or to Confluence pages won't be included.

tip/resting Created with Sketch.

Use the following JQL query to add colors to your issue cards! For example, add a red stripe to issues that have some blockers, and keep all other issues green. This will help you bring the right information to your team’s attention, at a glance. For more info, see Customizing cards.

Level

Only available if issue level security has been enabled by your Jira administrator.

Search for issues with a particular security level. You can search by issue level security name or issue level security ID (i.e. the number that Jira automatically allocates to an issue level security).

Note, it is safer to search by security level ID than by security level name. It is possible for your Jira administrator to change the name of a security level, which could break any saved filter that rely on that name. Security level IDs, however, are unique and cannot be changed.
