Atlassian Update: 12 July 2021

      Hi all,

      Thanks for participating in this issue, either by voting, commented or just watching. We highly value your feedback in all forms, and through suggestions in jira.atlassian.com is not different. We use this channel often to learn the best we can with how customers use JIRA and how we can continue to improve the experience for as many users as possible.

      We're glad to announce that we shipped a wildcard search for version fields.

      Until now version searches supported only exact matches, e.g. fixVersion = “9.0”

      With the wildcard version search it is also possible to search for partial matches. E.g. to find issues fixed in any version starting with “9.”, one can use the search fixVersion ~ “9.*”

      Version fields are:

      • Affected version
      • Fix version
      • Custom fields that use the "Version Picker".

      Soon you'll be able to read more about it in the article about Advanced search here.

      Cheers,

      With the release of JIRA 4.3, users can now specify a fix or affects version with a wildcard symbol in the Quick Search box (eg ff:4.*). Would be great to have the same functionality in JQL.

            [JRACLOUD-24152] JQL - Add wildcard functionality to versions

            Hi Navneeth,

            Standard JQL doesn't easily allow searching for exact words, special phrases and patterns.

            To get the wildcard support, use our professional indexing service JQL Search Extensions

            After you install the app, you can simply search:

            issue in wildcardMatch("fixVersion", ".patch.")

            Check out the documentation for more examples.

            I hope this helps!

            This only helps if the beginning or the end of the fixversion is the wildcard; but if the string you want to match is in the middle of the fixversion, this does not work, since the search does not seem to support more than one wildcard at a time. 

            So, if I have a fixversions of the pattern "XpatchY", where X is the major release number, and the string "patchY" indicates that a patch Y was released for release X, I cannot search for all patches released in the last 12 months for all releases (fixversion ~ ".patch.")

            I cannot find Jira cloud ticket option for this, is this being considered?

            Woot! That feels so good to condense an endless string of versions into tiny wildcard expression. Thanks a heap!!! <3

            Hey, 

            we're currently testing the functionality on our internal instances before shipping it to production. You can expect further updates on this topic soon.

            Hello. How about now, 3 weeks later?

            Hello, 

            sorry for the delayed update. We're still actively working on shipping the feature, the work is already in a pretty advanced state. I should have a more accurate estimate in the next two weeks.
