Cannot find custom field in JQL filter

[Martina Bassi]

Hi Coomunity,

I was creating a new filter in my project, but I cannot find the custom field "Issue Owner" in JQL, that is the one I wanted to filter by.

Can you please help?

Thank you,
Martina

Hello Martina:

There are two ways you can reference your custom field in JQL: either by the field name or by its ID number.

For the field name, it would resemble the following

"Issue Owner" = assignee

Issue Owner is in quotes because of the space.

To look for the field's ID number, go to the details of the custom field and find the 5-digit number.  For example, if Issue Owner's ID number is 12345, you'd refer to it in JQL as follows.

cf[12345] = assignee

Here's the reference https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/jql-fields/#Custom-field

Thank you!

Cannot understand why I had no problem with other custom fields which have space too. But thank you!
