Question

A search of "Milestone:Fred" returns all records that CONTAIN the word "Fred" in the Milestone. How can I retrieve records whose Milestone is "=" the word "Fred", not contains.

Answer 1

The thing to do here is to search directly by the ixFixFor of the milestone. Go to Admin > Project and hover over the milestone name or edit button. The status bar of your browser will have something like ixFixForEditing=6 at the end of the URL.

Then, search for milestone:"=6" and you should come up with the exact milestone.

Answer 2

That won't work for what I'm trying to do (we developed a custom app that retrieves tickets from FogBugz). Interesting, I just upgraded to v8 and now can type in Milestone=Fred and it retrieves "Fred" only milestones, but there's a bug...Milestone=FredOther does not retrieve "FredOther" only milestone records. I'll contact FB.
