概要

• Saved filters are stored in the JIRA database
  • Each saved filter is stored as a row in the "searchrequest" table
  • When a saved filter is deleted the row is deleted. There is no ability to undelete.

Recovering a Deleted Filter

You may recover a deleted filter by locating its settings in your most recent XML backup and manually recreating the filter in JIRA's user interface.

• Do not attempt to modify the searchrequest table or any other database tables

Inside of an XML backup you will find the database tables in XML form.

• The saved filters are in the "searchrequest" table.
• The entries for this table will appear in the XML backup
  • The lines will begin with "<SearchRequest"

Example Saved Filter

<SearchRequest id="10000" name="Filter for Dragons 10 board" author="charlie" user="charlie" request="project = &quot;Dragons 10&quot; ORDER BY Rank ASC" favCount="0" nameLower="filter for dragons 10 board"/>
