JQL tips

Helpful patterns for Bulk & JQL exports.

Common queries​

  • A saved filter: select it directly instead of writing JQL.
  • Recent work: updated >= -7d ORDER BY updated DESC
  • A release: fixVersion = "1.2.0"
  • A project subset: project = ABC AND statusCategory != Done

Ordering​

Use ORDER BY to control the sequence issues appear in the combined document (for example, ORDER BY rank or ORDER BY priority DESC).

Performance​

  • Narrow with indexed fields (project, status, fixVersion) before broad text search.
  • Large result sets run as background jobs; tighter queries finish faster.
note

JQL is evaluated with your permissions, so results only include issues you can browse.
