Hello,

I don`t how can I serch issues:

I would like to find issues that in "Summary" begins with '[' then five numbers and then ']'
for example: '[12345]', '[00341]', etc

I tried to use something like that: \\[?????\\] or \\[*\\] but it dosn`t work :(

Can You help my or suggest something ? :)

Hi Maciej,

You can try:

Issues -> Search for Issues

You have the choice of Basic search (clik choise) or Advance search (by typing JQL). See documentation Searching for issues.

To search for any text use JQL: 

summary ~ "\\[example\\]"

summary ~ "\\[12345\\]"

Hi,

Thanks but I think we didn`t understand each other :)

Maybe I will give You an example:

I have a lot of issues with Summary starts like this: [11111], [22222], [33333], [other], SOMETHING

I would like to create a searching schema that allows me to find list of issues from example: [11111], [22222], [33333] (without: [other], SOMETHING)
I tried to use this:

summary ~ "\\[?????\\]"

 but it doesn`t gives me any results :(

Hi, 

JQL does not have regex by default. But you can use ScriptRunner plugin and its JQL functions, for example:

One more thing...there should be regular expressions by default in JQL in Jira 8, but there is no release date given for Jira 8 yet...

In Advanced mode: summary ~ "\\[?????\\]" doesn`t gives any results

but for example summary ~ "\\[17449\\]" - works
