Summary

Sometimes it is required to filter Work Items by the end of a text field.

Solution

In the same way, the filter startswith can be used to filter text fields starting with some character and/or string, it is possible to filter any text field using endswith as well.

As an example, to get a list of Work Items with Blank Space at the end of the Title, just add the parameter filter=endswith(name,' ')on a GET Call similar to this:

1 https://[INSTANCENAME].jiraalign.com/rest/align/api/2/[ENDPOINT]?$filter=endswith(name,' ')
