I'd like to configure a quick filter to show all issues related to any of several different components. For instance the components are named like AB1, AB2, AB3, CD1, CD2, CD3, EF1, EF2, EF3, etc. Can i write a JQL "OR-statement" that includes all components that have AB or CD or EF in their names or do I have to list all components i full name?

Hi @kusum kishore 

I don't think this is possible without a third party app. I have done something similar using third party, but not on cloud though. Since components doesn't support "~" you must use the full component name. 

A workaround might be to add a label (or you might setup a hidden customfield) on the issue using automation. Automation can fetch e.g., the first two characters of the component name, and apply it as a label. Then you can make quick filters on labels instead.

Example on the rule below.

You will need a rule triggered by Field value changed (component). The rule above is ment as a simple guide about the idea, and you would need to adjust it for your exact need.

If you go for this approach make sure you filter correctly when you do you first bulk update (adding the labels on existing issues).

Edit:

Forgot to mention that you need to take care in case an issue have multiple components. You might filter away component names you don't want a label for. In smart values you can do string comparisons to make sure only wanted components are prosessed.
