JQL contains operator (!~) noty working in Jira Cloud

[Nadeem]

I am trying to use  JQL contains operator (ie ~) but i am getting the following error:

The operator '~' is not supported by the 'fixVersion' field.

 I am using Jira Cloud.

Hi Nadeem,

Welcome to the Atlassian Community.

The FixVersion field does not support the contain operator, just as the error message says. Take a look at the Advanced searching to see which operators are supported.

I see. I think I saw a thread that it's possible but that seems to be for the server. Is there a way to filter on fixVersion in Jira Cloud?

[Mikael Sandberg]

Yes, you can use any of these operators to search fixVersions:

= , != , > , >= , < , <=
IS , IS NOT, IN , NOT IN, WAS, WAS IN, WAS NOT, WAS NOT IN , CHANGED 

Note that the comparison operators (e.g. ">") use the version order that has 
been set up by your project administrator, not a numeric or alphabetic order.

Check Advanced search documentation I linked to above, it gives you a couple of examples.

Thanks. I saw that. I meant is there a way to filter on text partially using a wild card such as "version-A1*"?

[Mikael Sandberg]

No, not on Cloud. You can add your vote to JRACLOUD-24152 to have the wildcard functionality added to Cloud.

Thanks

It looks like Scriptrunner allows you to use regular expressions in a search.
