  • Use project values to find issues in the JQL

  • Use project values in workflows using Jira Expressions

It is possible to enable fields as project properties for the following project field types:

  • Text

  • Date

  • Number (the project property won't include the prefix or suffix)

  • Status

  • Priority

  • List

  • User

Enable a field as a project property

Before to enable the field as project property, you will se a message like this:

How to use a project property

(warning) Please, ensure you have enabled the field as project property.

Using properties in the JQL will allow you to find issues based on project values.

Start typing the word project and the JQL autocomplete will help you and you can complete with the name of your property.

...

Using project properties in Jira Expressions

(info) Please be sure to review Atlassian's documentation on https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/software/jira-expressions/

Using properties in Jira Expressions will allow you to (for example) condition the workflow based on project values using scripting apps.

To access a project property from a Jira Expression you need to know the project property name, for example, ‘Projectrak status’. Below, you can see an example of JMWE using project properties in a Jira Expression in a workflow validation:
