Included JQL Functions

ScriptRunner provides a large number of out-of-the-box JQL functions. Unlike most of ScriptRunner features, these included functions are available to all users on an instance, not just administrators.

Fields, operators, and functions

Fields are required to form a search clause and are typically followed by an operator and then a function or a value. Most ScriptRunner JQL functions are preceded by the issueFunction field, however, some ScriptRunner JQL functions are preceded by other fields (as shown in the table below). In a clause that includes a ScriptRunner JQL function the operator must always be in or not in (for example issueFucntion in hasLinks("Blocks")).

For more information on fields, functions and operators check out the JQL Functions Tutorial.
