For example, com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.customfieldtypes:grouppickersearcher. The search UI (basic search and JQL search) will display different operations and values for the field, based on the field searcher. You must specify a searcher that is valid for the field type, as listed below (abbreviated values shown): - cascadingselect: cascadingselectsearcher - datepicker: daterange - datetime: datetimerange - float: exactnumber or numberrange - grouppicker: grouppickersearcher - importid: exactnumber or numberrange - labels: labelsearcher - multicheckboxes: multiselectsearcher - multigrouppicker: multiselectsearcher - multiselect: multiselectsearcher - multiuserpicker: userpickergroupsearcher - multiversion: versionsearcher - project: projectsearcher - radiobuttons: multiselectsearcher - readonlyfield: textsearcher - select: multiselectsearcher - textarea: textsearcher - textfield: textsearcher - url: exacttextsearcher - userpicker: userpickergroupsearcher - version: versionsearcher If no searcher is provided, the field isn't searchable. However, Forge custom fields have a searcher set automatically, so are always searchable.
