    • We collect Jira feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      NOTE: This suggestion is for JIRA Server. Using JIRA Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      As a user I would like to be able to run parsing but "invalid" queries (there is a mistyped / non-visible / deleted issue key, version name, project key ...) and still obtain "partial" results.

      As this might be a genuine mistake that the user would like to correct (a typo for instance), we should ensure that a visible warning is displayed in the UI explaining that the result set might not be complete and listing out the "invalid" values.

      That way the user can opt to either "correct" the query or use the results as they are.

      For some use cases, the validation errors don't really matter as the use cases are for instance: "return issues with keys including x,y,z if they exist ..." so the non-existence of one of the issues in the list is not really a problem for the user executing the query.

      Currently, the REST API exposes a validateQuery param to skip validation. When this issue is implemented, we must ensure that the behaviour of the search REST interface is consistent with the changes done under this issue.
