Methods

Searches for issues using JQL.

Sorting the jql parameter is a full JQL expression, and includes an ORDER BY clause.

The fields param (which can be specified multiple times) gives a comma-separated list of fields to include in the response. This can be used to retrieve a subset of fields. A particular field can be excluded by prefixing it with a minus.

By default, only navigable (navigable) fields are returned in this search resource. Note: the default is different in the get-issue resource -- the default there all fields (all).

  • *all - include all fields
  • navigable - include just navigable fields
  • summary,comment - include just the summary and comments
  • -description - include navigable fields except the description (the default is *navigable for search)
  • *all,-comment - include everything except comments

Expanding Issues in the Search Result: It is possible to expand the issues returned by directly specifying the expansion on the expand parameter passed in to this resources.

For instance, to expand the "changelog" for all the issues on the search result, it is neccesary to specify "changelog" as one of the values to expand.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
opts

The options for the search.
