Quick Search - Search into Custom Field value

[Chiara Spadavecchia]

Hi,

I need to do a quick search starting with one of the custom fields.

Is it possible? 

[Jack Brickey]

"quick search"? Please explain further.

if you want to add a custom field to your JQL then something like this...

AND "mycustomfield" = xxxxx

[Chiara Spadavecchia]

I am referring to the search box located at the top right of the screen, in the header bar of Jira.

One of your clients would like to quickly search for the value of a custom field starting from the quick search.

Is it possible?

[Dirk Ronsmans]

I fear not, the quick search is limited in what it can return.

Search - Find issues, projects, boards, queues, filters and people.

If you wish to have more control, JQL or Basic search is the way to go.

[Jack Brickey]

correct. you cannot configure that search window.

[Chiara Spadavecchia]

is it not even possible to use a specific string to indicate the field in which to search?

For example: "cf[10047]=p123" into a quick search?

[Dirk Ronsmans]

Nope, that would be a JQL statement. So they can use that in the normal "issue search" but not in the quicksearch
