Finding a substring within one word in an issue summary

[Deleted user]

In our project, we have issue with summaries of the following structure:

ABC-DEF-XY001-ZZ01 Issue summary

I'm trying to search for the substring "XY001" but I cannot make it work.

As I cannot use "*" at the beginning of a word, I was trying to go with

summary ~ "ABC*XY001*"

But this is not working. I get no result.

Even

summary ~ "ABC-DEF-XY001*"

is not working

As I don't know the last part of the word, the "ZZ01", upfront, I cannot search for the entire word "ABC-DEF-XY001-ZZ01".

When I was trying around a bit with the search functionality, I found out that

summary ~ "ABC-*"

returns an empty result, whereas

summary ~"ABC*"

returns my issue.

Is there an issue with the "-"? Do I have to escape this somehow?

I was reading the search syntax for text fields, but could not find anything.

Can you help me find the "XY001"?

Kyle is right that there is a bug with this. Though if you are looking for a new add-on, I think ScriptRunner could accomplish this.

issueFunction in issueFieldMatch("project = JRA", "summary", "ABC\\-DEF\\-XY001\\-*")

We are in the lucky position, that we have ScriptRunner installed already, so I have just tried it and it is working fine. Thanks for your help.

Try escaping the dash using "\\-"

Unfortunately it is not helping.

I tryied

summary ~ "ABC\\-DEF*"

but I still receive an empty result. :-(

I have bad news: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-33306

Looks like it just won't work. It is a shame.
