JQL documentation on development property.

[John Chesshir]

When writing a JQL query, I tried "development is not empty", which didn't work, but gave me a great message, "The 'development' field requires a subscript and a property name, e.g. Development[pullrequests].all. Available subscripts are: pullrequests, commits, reviews, builds, deployments, branches."

I also found a suggestion to use development like this:

development[commits].all > 0

This certainly does yield a lot of results.  Unfortunately, it gives too many, so I need to be able to refine my search better.

So a couple of questions: Most importantly, where can I find more comprehensive documentation on querying by the development field set?

Second and more specifically, how can I query to find commits linked to a certain git repository?

Hi @John Chesshir,

Welcome to the Atlassian Community.

You can find more information about searching the development fields here, Advanced searching - development fields reference. Currently you cannot search for commits linked to a specific repository, that information is not stored in those fields. You would have to use the Bitbucket REST API to get that information out.
