💡 JQL examples

JQL

Explanation

status = Open

The field is editable if only the request is in the Open status.

priority != Medium

If the Priority field has a value 'Medium', the field is not displayed on the Edit form = it can't be edit by the customer.

description ~ 'to do'

The field is editable if the Description contains 'to do'. It's useful if your customers are working on the request and need more time to fill the whole ticket with the necessary information. They can type 'to do' as a signal that the request is not ready to investigate by service agents.

created >= -60m

The field can be edited for 60 minutes from creating the request.
