JQL design search

Add design properties to your Jira Query Language (JQL) queries to refine your issue search results. Advanced search makes it easy for your team to find and see updates to Jira issues with designs linked to them. Learn more about using advanced search with JQL

Design properties

You can search for issues based on their linked design properties:

  • design[status]

  • design[type]

  • design[lastUpdated]

  • design[totalCount]

For example, if you wanted to find issues with designs marked ‘ready for development’, you would add design[status] = "ready_for_development" to your JQL query.

  • Add an exclamation mark (!) to your query to search for issues that do not have designs marked as ‘ready for development’.

design[status] = "ready_for_development" AND Sprint not in (openSprints(), futureSprints()) AND status != Closed
