JQL

[Marquis Stevens]

When creating a JQL utilizing the "Project Name" field, can we on do fuzzy searches for this field or is there a way to have it search for an exact match?

The issue that I am running into is that two of my project names have similar titles so when I want to search for one project name, my query pulls in the results of the similar name as well.

I don’t understand how your JQL could pull in an unwanted or unspecified project. Could you share your JQL and explain further what is happening? Project it is rather specific in JQL, e.g. project = abc. JQL doesn’t support  ~ function.

project = PRILOG AND status not in (Done, Resolved, Rejected) AND "RICD Type" = Issue AND Component = component_name_example AND "Project Name" ~ "thinkpipes"

Ok so “project name” must be a custom field? If you are using the “~” operator then you will get approximate matches. Maybe you want…

project = PRILOG AND status not in (Done, Resolved, Rejected) AND "RICD Type" = Issue AND Component = component_name_example AND "Project Name" = "thinkpipes"

I guess my question is exactly what project name is used for and exactly what you are trying to query for here.

Hi, @Marquis Stevens ! 
Welcome to the Community! 
I strongly agree with @Jack Brickey , it seems to me that you have custom text-field with name “Project Name”(not system field “project”).

Look at the documentation - Search syntax for text fields 

There you can find relevant search examples.
