# Jira - Search issues action (batch)

The Search issues (batch) action searches Jira for issues that exactly match the criteria you specify and retrieves the results in batches.

RESULTS FOR RECENT CHANGES

Jira search results may not reflect recent changes. Use the Reconcile Issue IDs field to return real-time results for up to 50 issues. Alternatively, add a short delay after steps that create or update records. For example, using the Ruby snippets by Workato sleep function or the Scheduler by Workato Wait for time duration action.

# Input

Input field Description
Issue key Enter the issue key to search by.
Summary Enter the summary to search by.
Output fields Select the fields to retrieve from Jira or enter them manually.

If you select Enter fields, you must supply a comma-separated list of IDs for the fields you plan to use in the recipe. For example: parent,lastViewed
Reconcile Issue IDs Provide up to 50 issue IDs (comma-separated) to return consistent results immediately after updates. Consistency is only ensured for specified issues.

The search criteria you provide is combined using AND logic. Only issues matching all values are returned. Partial matches aren't returned.
