JQL to match single string occurring in any of a list of issue fields

[Tim Black]

For example, I want to find all issues with "python" or "Python" in the summary, description, or comments. This works:

(description ~ "python" OR summary ~ "python" OR comment ~ "python")

but it's pretty inelegant. My pythonic brain instinctively tried:

"python" in (description, summary, comment)

but that's a syntax error.

Can you form a shorter JQL to find all issues with "python" or "Python" in the summary, description, or comments.

Hi Tim,

One option is to use "text ~" - which searches all text fields.

Thanks @Inactive Stephen, that's what I was looking for!

For others looking for a description of what this "text" field is, here's the link:
