5. In the JQL query string field, specify a JQL query. A simple query in JQL also known as a 'clause' consists of a field, followed by an operator and one or more values or functions. For example, the simple query finds all the issues in the 'TEST' project that is project = 'Test'. JQL gives you some SQL-like syntax, such as the ORDER BY SQL keyword and ISNULL() SQL function such as the NULL keyword in JQL. However, JQL is not a database query language and JQL does not have a SELECT statement.

If the query is not correctly formulated, then it throws an error irrespective of the validated query value.
