Is there a way to filter for the first few characters in a field?

[Phil Bustin]

I have a filter that works only if the search string is followed by a space in a custom field.

For example, "[custom field name]" ~ "SSR" in the Filter captures issues in which the custom field begins "SSR "; however, if the custom field begins "SSR6", the issue is not captured.

Hi @Phil Bustin 

I wonder if the CONTAINS ~ operator and fuzzy search uses known words.  And so to match on other things, try adding the wildcard character:

"[custom field name]" ~ "SSR*"

Kind regards,
Bill
