JQL fields

JQL lets you search for a value in a specific field. Each field in Jira has a corresponding JQL name. If you’ve made a custom field, you’ll be asked to name the field.

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. It's 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.

Change gating type

Used in business projects only.

Search for types of change gating that are used in change requests. "Tracked-only" requests are produced by integrations that stand separately from a change management process.

  • Find issues where a comment contains both the exact phrase "My PC is quite old" and the exact phrase “My Mac is quite new”:
    comment ~ "\"My PC is quite old\"" AND comment ~ "\"My Mac is quite new\""

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. Component IDs, however, are unique and cannot be changed.

    or
    component = Comp1 and component = Comp2 

  • Find issues in the component with ID 20500:
    component = 20500 

Created

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).

    created <= "2010/12/13"

  • Find all issues created on 12th December 2010 before 2:00pm:
    created > "2010/12/12" and created < "2010/12/12 14:00" 

  • Find issues created less than one day ago:
    created > "-1d"

  • Find issues created in January 2011:
    created > "2011/01/01" and created < "2011/02/01"

  • Find issues created on 15 January 2011:created > "2011/01/15" and created < "2011/01/16"

Creator

Search for issues that were created by a particular user. You can search by the user's full name, ID, or email address. Note that an issue's creator does not change, so you cannot search for past creators (e.g. WAS). See Reporter for more options. 

Syntax

Field Type

USER

Auto-complete

Yes

Supported operators

= , !=

Unsupported operators

~ , !~ , > , >= , < , <= CHANGED, WAS, WAS IN, WAS NOT, WAS NOT IN

Supported functions

When used with the IN and NOT IN operators, this field supports:

  • membersOf()

When used with the EQUALS and NOT EQUALS operators, this field supports:

  • currentUser()

Examples

  • Search for issues that were created by Jill Jones:
    creator = "Jill Jones"
    or
    creator = "jjones"

  • Search for issues that were created by the user with email address :
    creator = "bob@mycompany.com"
    (Note that full-stops and "@" symbols are reserved characters, so the email address needs to be surrounded by quote-marks.) 

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 a 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.

For multiple choice and dropdown custom fields, you can search by both option value and option ID. However, for performance reasons, when using closedSprints(), futureSprints(), and openSprints(), you can only search by option value. For example, if closedSprints() were to return 16, the following query:

1 "customField1[Dropdown]" in (12, closedSprints())

would search for option values 12 and 16 and ID 12.

Syntax

1 CustomFieldName

Alias

1 cf[CustomFieldID]

Field Type

Depends on the custom field's configuration

Jira text-search syntax can be used with custom fields of type 'Text'.

Auto-complete

As of February 2024, Epic link function has been retired in favor of Parent. Existing filters that use the Epic link function still function, but you’ll need to use Parent when creating new filters.

Jump down to the Parent section of this page.

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 can’t run or save a filter that would cause an infinite loop (i.e. you can’t reference a saved filter if it eventually references your current filter).

Fix version

Search for issues that are assigned to a particular fix version. You can search by version name or version ID (i.e. the number that Jira automatically allocates to a version).

It’s safer to search by version ID than by version name. Different projects may have versions with the same name, so searching by version name may return issues from multiple projects.

  • Find issues with a Fix Version ID of 10001:
    fixVersion = 10001

Hierarchy level

Filter issues according to their hierarchy level using a JQL filter. This field uses numbers that correlate to hierarchy levels. Use:

  • 1 to filter by parent level task, such as epics. This level is defined by your Jira administrator.

  • 0 to filter by standard level issues, such as stories or tasks

  • -1 to filter by subtasks

Currently, this field doesn’t support custom hierarchy levels made in Advanced Roadmaps.

  • with linked issues but not linked to a specific issue: issueLink != ABC-123

  • linked to at least one of a list of issues: issueLink in (ABC-123, ABC-456)

  • with linked issues but not linked to any of the issues you specify: issueLink not in (ABC-123, ABC-456)

  • that block the issue ABC-123 (link type is "blocks"): issueBlocks = ABC-123 or issueLink["blocks"] = ABC-123

  • that are blocked by the issue ABC-123 (link type is "is blocked by"): issueIsBlockedBy = ABC-123 or issueLink["is blocked by"] = ABC-123

Search for issues that have a particular link type, like blocks or is duplicated by. You can only find issues from the Jira instance you're searching on; remote links to issues on other Jira instances won’t be included.

Use this 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.

Find issues:

  • with a link type of "causes": issueLinkType = causes

  • with a link type of "duplicates" or "clones": issueLinkType in (duplicates,clones)

  • with link types other than “clones”: issueLinkType != clones

  • that are blocked by other issues, or that don't have any blockers:

    • issueLinkType = "is blocked by"

    • issueLinkType != "is blocked by"

Jira issue link types have the following properties:

  • Name: The title for the link type

  • Outward description: The description of how an issue affects other issues

  • Inward description: The description of how an issue is affected by other issues

For example, a link type could have the following properties:

  • Name: Problem/Incident

  • Outward description: causes

  • Inward description: is caused by

When searching issueLinkType, Jira searches all three properties. This can mean you're unable to isolate issues with a specific inward or outward description if the link type's name and either of the descriptions are the same. This is the case for the default "Blocks" link type, where the name and outward description are "blocks".

If you need to be able to search specifically for issues with an outward description of "blocks", for example, a Jira administrator must change the name of the link type to something else. If you're a Jira admin, take a look at Configuring issue linking for more info.

Labels

Search for issues tagged with a label or list of labels. You can also search for issues without any labels to easily identify which issues need to be tagged so they show up in the relevant sprints, queues or reports.

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.

  • Find issues where Request Type is either Request a new account or Get IT Help.
    "Request Type" IN ("Request a new account", "Get IT Help")

Resolution

The resolution field doesn't exist in service team-managed projects. This means you can't search for issues in service team-managed projects with the resolution field. Instead, you can use the statusCategory field (an issue is resolved when statusCategory = Done).

Search for issues that have a particular resolution. You can search by resolution name or resolution ID (i.e. the number that Jira automatically allocates to a resolution).

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

Sprint

Search for issues that are assigned to a particular sprint. This works for active sprints and future sprints. The search is based on either the sprint name or the sprint ID (i.e. the number that Jira automatically allocates to a sprint).

If you have multiple sprints with similar (or identical) names, you can simply search by using the sprint name — or even just part of it. The possible matches will be shown in the autocomplete drop-down, with the sprint dates shown to help you distinguish between them. (The sprint ID will also be shown, in brackets).

Status

Search for issues that have a particular status. You can search by status name or status ID (i.e. the number that Jira automatically allocates to a status).

It’s safer to search by status ID than status name since it’s possible for your Jira administrator to change the name of a status, which would break any saved filter that relies on that name. Status IDs, however, are unique and cannot be changed.

The WAS, WAS NOT, WAS IN and WAS NOT IN operators can only be used with the name, not the ID.
