You can use Sales CRM’s custom fields to create custom JQLs.

Custom JQL enables you to filter and query Jira issues using customer, contact, or sales data from Sales CRM. This feature streamlines work organization and tracking for specific business activities without requiring additional configuration.

How Sales CRM works with Custom Fields JQL

The Custom fields that work with the JQL are the following:

With a JQL query, you’re able to find support tickets, client projects, or other relevant work items. This integration can help you find items with the right context more easily by plugging the Sales CRM custom fields into Jira searches and filters.

Custom JQL requires no additional configuration in Sales CRM. Once installed, it integrates seamlessly with Jira, allowing you to query tickets based on customer or sales data instantly. Simply use the provided syntax to create queries in Jira and begin leveraging this functionality immediately.

Where you can use Custom Fields JQL in Jira

If you’re not familiar with JQL - you can find out more about them through Atlassian’s documentation here: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-service-management-cloud/docs/use-advanced-search-with-jira-query-language-jql/

A popular way of using a JQL in Jira is to use it to search for specific issues that fit a certain criteria, but you could also save a JQL as a filter to find a certain set of issues quickly in the future.
