JIRA - Swimlanes add issue when Swimlanes Title as in label

Question

I search:

• How add a issue into Swimlanes when the issue label contains the name of Swimlanes?

• What is the JQL Syntax to compare: labels ~ Swimlanes.name return Error: The operator '~' is not supported by the 'labels' field.

Example: Swimlanes Title: S50

Issue Labels: S50

Answer 1

You can't use the operator contains (~) with the field labels. Because ~ searches for text in text fields. Labels are a set of fixed terms, a select list rather than text.

Instead, you can use the JQL labels = Swimlanes.name in each swimlane. It will add an issue into Swimlanes when the issue label equals the name of Swimlanes

For example :

Swimlanes Title: S50

Issue Labels: S50

JQL : labels = S50
