Issue Management

In ScriptRunner Enhanced Search for Jira Cloud, issue management JQL keywords are specialized terms used to perform advanced searches and manipulate issues efficiently. These keywords extend Jira’s native JQL functionality to provide more granular control over issue queries.

These keywords are especially useful when managing issues in complex projects, where relationships, hierarchies, and advanced attributes are critical. They significantly enhance Jira Cloud’s native search capabilities, enabling teams to execute more precise queries.

commentedBy

The commentedBy keyword can be used to search for issues that have comments on them made by a particular user. You must specify an acccountID:

reporter = currentUser() AND commentedBy = '012345-678912-34567-891011'

This keyword can be used with the following operators: in, not in, != AND =

fileAttachedBy

This keyword can be used to find issues that have a file attached by a particular user. You must use the accountID of the user you are interested in.

This keyword can also be compared using the !=, in and not in operators.
