JQL Trick: How to search for labels with a wildcard expression in Jira Server

If your company has installed Adaptavist Scriptrunner you are in luck!

You are available to do a search for labels using a wildcard expression using JQL

You can use the JQL function issueFieldMatch

Example of usage:

issueFunction in issueFieldMatch(“project = JRA”, “labels”, “ie[8|9]”)

This will search for tickets with “ie8” and “ie9” labels

issueFunction in issueFieldMatch(“project = JRA”, “labels”, “star*”)

This will search for tickets with “star” as prefix

If you need more info about how to use JQL, tricks, etc, we strongly recommend the Book “JQL Per tutti” of Fabio Genovese (Artigiano del Software)

Available in Italian, Spanish, Catalan, French and English!
