FieldTypePresenceDescription and constraints
$objectRootAdditional keys: not allowed
expandarrayOptionalUse [expand](#expansion) to include additional information about issues in the response. Note that, unlike the majority of instances where `expand` is specified, `expand` is defined as a list of values. The expand options are:

* `renderedFields` Returns field values rendered in HTML format.
* `names` Returns the display name of each field.
* `schema` Returns the schema describing a field type.
* `transitions` Returns all possible transitions for the issue.
* `operations` Returns all possible operations for the issue.
* `editmeta` Returns information about how each field can be edited.
* `changelog` Returns a list of recent updates to an issue, sorted by date, starting from the most recent.
* `versionedRepresentations` Instead of `fields`, returns `versionedRepresentations` a JSON array containing each version of a field's value, with the highest numbered item representing the most recent version.
expand[]stringEach item
fieldsarrayOptionalA list of fields to return for each issue, use it to retrieve a subset of fields. This parameter accepts a comma-separated list. Expand options include:

* `*all` Returns all fields.
* `*navigable` Returns navigable fields.
* Any issue field, prefixed with a minus to exclude.

The default is `*navigable`.

Examples:

* `summary,comment` Returns the summary and comments fields only.
* `-description` Returns all navigable (default) fields except description.
* `*all,-comment` Returns all fields except comments.

Multiple `fields` parameters can be included in a request.

Note: All navigable fields are returned by default. This differs from [GET issue](#api-rest-api-3-issue-issueIdOrKey-get) where the default is all fields.
fields[]stringEach item
fieldsByKeysbooleanOptionalReference fields by their key (rather than ID). The default is `false`.
jqlstringOptionalA [JQL](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/egORLQ) expression.
maxResultsintegerOptionalThe maximum number of items to return per page.
Default: 50
Format: int32
propertiesarrayOptionalA list of up to 5 issue properties to include in the results. This parameter accepts a comma-separated list.
properties[]stringEach item
startAtintegerOptionalThe index of the first item to return in the page of results (page offset). The base index is `0`.
Format: int32
validateQuerystringOptionalDetermines how to validate the JQL query and treat the validation results. Supported values:

* `strict` Returns a 400 response code if any errors are found, along with a list of all errors (and warnings).
* `warn` Returns all errors as warnings.
* `none` No validation is performed.
* `true` *Deprecated* A legacy synonym for `strict`.
* `false` *Deprecated* A legacy synonym for `warn`.

The default is `strict`.

Note: If the JQL is not correctly formed a 400 response code is returned, regardless of the `validateQuery` value.
One of: strict, warn, none, true, false

SDK function policy ID: atlassian.searchforissuesusingjqlpost. Catalog operation: searchforissuesusingjqlpost. Rules can name either ID; function rules distinguish managed calls and conservatively cover raw calls sharing the route. Existing grant permissions and policy rules apply. wait() returns an immediate result or waits for a required approval; it never approves the request itself. Persist the approval ID to resume after a restart.

Provider errors retain their response; JSON decoding raises ProviderAPIError for provider failures. ManagedOperationError identifies contract/input/retention errors. See error handling and provider-specific behavior. Sensitive input may be refused before approval storage. A decoding error never resubmits a write.

Required provider scopes: ["read:jira-work"]
