How to use searchQuery for exact match on values with spaces

[Fabio Tavares]

I'm trying to use the rest api to fetch a project's request type by name.
The Jira Service Management Cloud REST API

I see the searchQuery explanation seems to indicate that is works like a "contains" but I would like to understand if I can do an exact match, specially including spaces.

I have a request type named "Entitlement Request" that I'm not able to search the way i want.

Hi @Fabio Tavares

You can try to get the Request types details using ID, please find the below document using this RESP API call:

Hello Mahesh,

Unfortunately this won't help since I'm trying to obtain a Project's Request Type's Id using its name which may or may not exist associated to an issue.
