Tags: wildcard query not supported? 🤷 #41

Open ijdonaldson opened 2 months ago

ijdonaldson commented 2 months ago

Describe the bug The wiql-editor supports Tag queries of the query form ✅ But it doesn't offer any additional capability, on the querying of Tags 😭

Environment:

Screenshots

To Reproduce

  1. In your Azure Boards project, select the Wiql editor menu nav option
  2. Create a query with the existing capability: AND [System.Tags] CONTAINS 'Release'
  3. But try wildcard and doesn't work: AND [System.Tags] CONTAINS 'Release%'

Expected behavior Support wildcard for Tag 'contains' queries. E.g. "Release%" would allow return of all items with Tag starting with 'Release'.
Without this we have to specify each and every Tag instance, which can be excruciating when there are many (dozens or more). I.e. we have Release 1, Release 2, Release 3 on so on ... releasing weekly.

Additional context The Jira equivalent extension "JQL tricks" supports this, so kinda sets a bar/expectation (justSayin').

I will test the issues and get back to you.

Thanks @AminTi . It's probably an Improvement/Enhancement rather than a Bug, but still, it would add enormous value to have it. The extension has so much potential 📈.
