The Flowzira Reference section provides comprehensive technical documentation for all enhanced search capabilities. This is your definitive guide to keywords, custom fields, and functions—designed for quick lookup, syntax validation, and understanding the full scope of available search enhancements.

What's in This Section

JQL Keywords

Complete reference for all 30+ keywords that extend Jira's native search capabilities. Keywords provide fast, indexed searches for counts, relationships, and boolean indicators that work everywhere in Jira—from simple searches to complex dashboard queries.

What you'll find:

• Complete keyword list with data types and descriptions

• Syntax examples for every keyword

• Performance tips and best practices

• Category explanations with use case context

Quick examples:

• commentsCount > 10 - Find highly discussed issues

• isEpicChild = "true" - Filter epic children

• hasOverdueVersions = "true" - Identify release risks

Custom Fields

Reference for all 9 custom fields that provide user-visible insights directly in issue view. These fields make important data accessible to all users while remaining fully searchable through JQL.

What you'll find:

• Field names, types, and detailed descriptions

• Search syntax and operator examples

• Screen configuration guidance

• Category context for workflow, parent, and version fields

Quick examples:

• "Parent Status" = "Done" - Find subtasks with completed parents

• "Last Transitioned By" = john.doe - Track specific user activity

• "Has Overdue Versions" = "true" - Monitor release compliance

JQL Functions

Complete guide to all 15+ advanced functions that enable complex relationship analysis and pattern matching impossible with standard JQL.

What you'll find:

• Function syntax and parameter reference

• Relationship functions for epic and hierarchy analysis

• Text matching with regex and wildcard support

• Specialized multi-parameter functions

• Complex query examples and combinations

Quick examples:

• issue in childrenOfEpicsInQuery("assignee = currentUser()") - Find your epic work

• issue in regex("summary", "\\b[A-Z]{2,4}-\\d+\\b") - Pattern matching

• issue in commentFunctions("author=john.doe,count>5") - Multi-criteria search
