JQL Query - Fix Version Description

[Melissa C]

Hello, 

I'm looking to Query the description of Fix Version. I was able to use smart values to get the description of Fix version {{version.description}} 

But can I get the value using jql ?

Hey @Melissa C , 

Not just using JQL, it only searches for the name.

If you really want to be able to do this, you could create an automation that copies the version description into a different text custom field (trigger could be on update of the fixVersion field), and use a JQL query on that field. 

Cheers, 

Tessa

Hi @Melissa C

if you're open to solutions from the Atlassian Marketplace, you may want to have a look at the app that my team and I are working on, JXL for Jira.

JXL is a full-fledged spreadsheet/table view for your issues that allows viewing, inline-editing, sorting, and filtering by all your issue fields, much like you’d do in e.g. Excel or Google Sheets. It also comes with a long list of so-called smart columns that aren’t natively available, including the fix version description.

This is how it looks in action:

Once you've narrowed down your list of issues, you can work on your issues directly in JXL, trigger various operations in Jira, or export your issues with just one click.

I should add that JXL can do much more than the above: From support for configurable issue hierarchies, to issue grouping by any issue field(s), sum-ups, or conditional formatting.

Any questions let me know,

Best,

Hannes
