Level custom field contains three options: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced Pro.

To find issues where theLevelcustom field (a single-select field) has any of the valuesBeginner,Intermediate, orAdvanced Pro, the JQL query must use theINoperator to check for multiple values. The correct query isLevel IN (Beginner, Intermediate, "Advanced Pro")(Option B), as it properly handles the multi-word valueAdvanced Prowith quotes.

Explanation of the Correct Answer (Option B):

TheLevelcustom field is a single-select field with three options:Beginner,Intermediate, andAdvanced Pro. TheINoperator allows checking if a field’s value matches any of a list of values. For multi-word values likeAdvanced Pro, quotes are required to treat it as a single value.

The queryLevel IN (Beginner, Intermediate, "Advanced Pro")searches for issues where theLevelfield is set toBeginner,Intermediate, orAdvanced Pro, covering all possible values.

Exact Extract from Documentation:

Advanced searching - operators reference

TheINoperator checks if a field’s value matches any of the specified values.

Example:

Level IN (Beginner, Intermediate, "Advanced Pro") returns issues where theLevelfield is set toBeginner,Intermediate, orAdvanced Pro.Note: For values containing spaces (e.g.,Advanced Pro), enclose the value in double quotes.(Source: Atlassian Support Documentation, "Advanced searching - operators reference")

Why This Fits: TheINoperator with properly quoted values efficiently searches for all specifiedLeveloptions, making Option B the correct answer.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

Level = Beginner OR Level = Intermediate OR Level = Advanced Pro (Option A):

This query is functionally correct but less efficient than usingIN. It requires multiple=operators and does not handle the multi-word valueAdvanced Procorrectly without quotes, potentially causing a syntax error.

Extract from Documentation:

UseINfor concise queries with multiple values. MultipleORclauses are valid but less efficient and require quotes for multi-word values.

Level ~ (Beginner, Intermediate, "Advanced Pro") (Option C):

The~operator is used for partial text matching (e.g., wildcard searches) and is not valid for single-select fields likeLevel, which require exact value matching. This query is syntactically incorrect.

Extract from Documentation:

The~operator is for text fields and partial matching, not for select fields. Use=orINfor exact value matching.

(Source: Atlassian Support Documentation, "Advanced searching - operators reference")

Level IN (Beginner, Intermediate OR Advanced Pro) (Option D):

This query is syntactically incorrect, as theINoperator requires a comma-separated list of values, not logical operators likeOR. Additionally,Advanced Proneeds quotes to be treated as a single value.

Extract from Documentation:

TheINoperator requires a list of values (e.g., (value1, value2, "value3")). Logical operators likeORare not allowed insideIN.

TheLevelfield must be a single-select custom field with the exact options listed.Verify the field’s configuration inSettings > Issues > Custom fields.

The query can be tested inIssues > Search for issuesand saved as a filter.
