Several attributes of a Feature as well as its text become searchable using JQL. Being able to search for attributes can be particularly useful for improving your Sprint and Backlog Jira boards.
Search for Feature Text
The name of the field that you need to use is 'Feature.content'. Navigate to the Search for Issues page and use the '~' (tilde) character to search for the required text.
Depending on your preferences menu options the Feature panel might be loaded in Gherkin Text Editor mode rather than Example Mapping, so you will see textual representation rather like below.
Search for Feature Attributes
The following list of attributes becomes searchable with JQL:
Feature.userStories
Type - Number
Description: how many User Stories the Feature contains. A User Story in this case means that there are 3 common keywords: ‘As a', ‘I want to’ and ‘So that’ after the Feature keyword and there is some text after each of these keywords. 'In order to’ keyword can be used instead of ‘So that’.
Feature.userStories = 0
Could be used to identify Jira issues that have some Feature text but are missing key pieces of information such as who the user or the stakeholder is for whom the story is valuable and/or why exactly the story is needed.
Attribute name | Type | Description | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
Feature.userStories | Number | How many “complete” User Stories the Feature contains. | Feature.userStories > 0 |
