Argon Powerful JQL Search

Argon Powerful JQL Search is a Jira Forge app that extends Jira Query Language with powerful functions, searchable entity properties, and custom fields. It continuously indexes your Jira data so you can express complex questions directly in JQL (links, hierarchy, time in status, comments, worklogs, regex, and more).

How to use these docs

• Browse JQL Functions: Each function page includes syntax, parameters, and examples. Start with: Links & Hierarchy, Regex, Field Value, Field Count, Changed By, Transitioned By, Commented, Attachment, Worklog, Time in Status, Math.
• Learn core concepts: Understand the searchable metadata Argon provides in Entity Properties and how durations work with the Time in Status field in Time in Status Field & timeExpression.
• Use the sidebar and search: The sidebar mirrors the folder structure. Use built‑in search to jump to functions, concepts, or examples.

Quick examples

-- Find issues that link to more than two other issues
linksNumber > 2

-- Find issues linked by High‑priority issues that are Done
linkedByPriority = "High" AND linkedByStatus ~ "Done"

-- Time in status: issues with ≥ 3 days in "In Progress"
"In Progress.time" >= timeExpression("3d")

Tips

• Durations: Use timeExpression("1w 2d 3h") to compare time values in JQL.
• Combine features: Mix JQL functions with entity properties for precise targeting.
• Operators: Number properties support =, !=, >, >=, <, <=; string properties support =, !=, ~, !~.

What’s in the sidebar

• JQL Functions: Attachments, comments, changed/transitioned by, field value/count, regex, links & hierarchy, worklog, time in status, math helpers.
• Core Concepts: Entity properties and the Time in Status field with timeExpression.
