How to search for issues matching a specific customfield?

I’m currently having trouble searching issues based on a customfield.

Customfield_10162 has been assigned to a RefID.

If I search for the issue by key I get this: “customfield_10162”: “TESTREFID”

If I search by “jql”: “cf[10162]=TESTREFID” I get this response

{

"errorMessages": [

    "The operator '=' is not supported by the 'cf[10162]' field."

],

"warningMessages": []

}

Hi @SMARTdeveloper ,

What type of field is Customfield_10162? If it is text, you might want to try fuzzy search by using ~ instead of =. For reference, you might want to check this section on advance search on custom fields.

Hope this helps.

Fixed it by changing the search a little. Works like a charm

{
“jql”: “RefID~TESTREFID”
}
