JQL to select just one issue with same field

[Евгений Фарсалов]

Hi guys! Does anyone know how to find just matching issue for each project? I need the one that was modified last. Lets say I need to find the last issue in each project that contains "check prerelease build for errors" words in its summary. How can I do that?

JQL defines issues to find, not what is displayed from that list.

You'll need to find a report that can run a search, then drop all the results except the one you want.  The REST API will return a list from the search with whatever fields you need, so a bit of code to sort and then drop most of the results should be quite easy.
