When we are using the issue search, we generally always are going to filter our search by one of our custom fields (Client Name) in addition to the Project / Type / Status / Assignee. Is there any way to force this field to always show as a search option without having to go to the More menu first?
One thing you might try is using the advanced search and JQL. I find JQL quicker than selecting from drop downs. Further you could get creative by adding a ‘sub-filter’ into a filter. JQL allows you to include another filter into you search, e.g. project = abc and filter in (“my custom fields”). In this example you could create a filter that is a common JQL that you typically always add to you searches.
example, let’s say you have 3 custom fields that are binary (true or false) and you typically add the following to your searches - “and custom1 = true and custom2 = true and custom3 = false”. You could save that snippet as its own filter and the add it in using the filter in as mentioned previously.
Hi @Avery Krouse Welcome to the community!
Have you tried marking your search as a favorite (starred)? Then you can just expand the sidebar and quickly select one of your favorite/recent searches.
Best regards,

Hey Bill!
Unfortunately, it's more of a situation where 99% of the time, no matter what we're searching for (using saved filters, doing a raw search out of the toolbar, etc), we're also going to be adding in the client name to filter the tickets to just those clients. I probably do 30+ searches a day not on a specific saved favorite.

Hi Avery,
Thanks for clarifying. I do not believe you can do that with out-of-the-box JIRA.
What I do is save my partial search snippets in my favorite editor, or as favorites, so I can quickly start where I want. The editor way does require a copy/paste but it saves me recreating the syntax for complicated searches.
Best regards,
Bill
