Q. I would like to search issues with two conditions combined using this:
POST /fieldapi/issues/v1/search
For example, I want Safety Issues that were created on or after September 1, 2016.
I am able to search on a single condition. The documentation suggests like this:
"[\"cf--5bf288e4-21a0-4fe8-9a4b-67c8133fcb92,like,\\\"inspect\\\"\",\"f--status,in,[\\\"Work Completed\\\",\\\"Draft\\\"]\"]"
but I can’t get anything that resembles this to work.
A. The documentation is correct, but it probably needs a little clarification. Quotation marks (“”) and escape makes (\) make it difficult to tell the logic behind it.
A condition is defined as a string of a form:
Condition = field_identifier,operator,”condition_value”
Notice that condition_value is wrapped with quotation marks (“”). As an example, let’s say, we have two conditions A and B as follows:
Condition_A = created_at,geq,\"2015-01-01\" Condition_B = f--issue_type_id,eq,\"98f6738e-97ce-11e2-a4be-02cc3afa57bd\"
Then conditions parameter is defined as a list ([]) of each condition separated by comma (,).
conditions = [“condition_A”,”condition_B”]
Notice that I’m wrapping each condition with quotation mark (“”), which makes each condition as one string.
Putting together, the conditions parameter looks like this:
conditions = ["created_at,geq,\"2015-01-01\"","f--issue_type_id,eq,\"98f6738e-97ce-11e2-a4be-02cc3afa57bd\""]
Depending on the tools and programming language you are using, you may further need to elaborate with escape character while passing the parameter to your actual REST call.

How would I search for issues for a specific day (not greater than or equal to)? When trying to use ‘eq’ in my conditions parameter I don’t return any results, but ‘geq’ returns issues on my particular date as well as issues later than my date.

Hi Daniel,
Just tried it myself. “eq” also works. However, I notice that “created_at” is actually a time. So if you use the condition that includes time, it finds a matching one, e.g.,
[“f–created_at,eq,\”2016-01-10 14:42:01 -0500\””]
This means that if you are interested in a specific date, you should use a combination of “geq” and “leq”.
I will add a note about this to my post.
I hope this explains.
