Description
The documentation found here: EscapingSpecialCharacters is incorrect in that this following bug ticket exists showing that it in fact does not work https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-25092.
In the example, performing a JQL search like this, will result in the following error:
JQL:
Summary ~ "foo\[bar\]"
Error:
Error in the JQL Query: '\[' is an illegal JQL escape sequence. The valid escape sequences are \', \", \t, \n, \r, \\, '\ ' and \uXXXX. (line 1, character 15)
The list in the documentation says we can escape the following:
+ - && || ! ( ) { } [ ] ^ ~ * ? \
But the error message says that we only support this list:
The valid escape sequences are \', \", \t, \n, \r, \\, '\ ' and \uXXXX
Please amend the inconsistencies.
