REST API search does not return expected results
Added by Anthony Hunter about 8 years ago
I am trying to search issues for fields with specific values and my results returned are not what is expected. I am using Redmine 3.0.
In all of these searches I expect to only see one issue returned.
When I search on the subject field I get what I expect, one record. But, when I try to search by ID, I get multiple; I also see this when searching with a custom field (which has the searchable option enabled), more then one record is returned.
Has this issue been resolved in the newer versions, 3.1, 3.2, or 3.3?
Example search urls:
Works as expected:
http://redminetest/issues.xml?subject=I/O Tools
Returns multiple results when only 1 is expected
http://redminetest/issues.xml?id=12345
http://redminetest/issues.xml?cf_15=System
I figured out my problem. The "For all Projects" option needed to be checked on the custom field. My field was only for one project which is why I didn't initially check this.
Is this not a bug? I would think that as long as the "Searchable" option is selected, you could then search using the custom field.
