How to query data using the project key

[Kamor, Hollee C.]

UPDATE: I think I figured it out :)

I am trying to compile data on several projects; however the project names keep changing and breaking the JQL.  Is there a way to query current/historical data, using their project key instead?  When their project name changes, the key has stayed intact - so I am thinking of using that for dashboard reporting.

Example:  Project Name = Network Security, KEY = NETSEC

I have tried various JQLs as a starting point, including:

key= NETSEC (and inserting "" and () with no luck)

key in NETSEC (and inserting "" and () with no luck)

 

I've attempted to use Project Key also, with no luck.

Once I can access the data with the key, then I will build on the JQL, utilizing the sprints and other data I am looking for.  I just cannot determine the foundation.  The previous JQL would be:  Project in Network Security (and then I add the other items I want to see)

Thank you for any help!

Hi @Kamor, Hollee C. 

Have you tried this one?

project = theProjectKey
