We have the two most common reasons for this problem described in this article. If these two are not applicable for you and running the JQL doesn’t give you the answer you are looking for, please contact us and send us the results of running the JQL manually (included the auto suggested request type name from Jira) and the error you’re seeing in Advanced Reports.

Incorrect Request Type Name

Check whether your request type name has any trailing spaces at the beginning or at the end. If it does, remove all trailing spaces:
e.g. “Request Type A “, “ Request Type A“ or “ Request Type A “ should be “Request Type A”

Translated Request Type/ Customer Request Status

If you have a translation for a certain Request Type/ Customer Request Status and you switch to this language in Jira Service Desk, you might experience some problems searching using this request type Request Type/Customer Request Status in Advanced Portal Reports. This is due to the fact that Atlassian doesn’t support JQL searching by request type id but only by request type name. However they are not providing a way to get the actual value of the Request Type/ Customer Request Status, their API returns the current translation of the request type which is not a valid option for searching.

In order to fix this problem, you have to go to the translation configuration (1) and remove the request type Request Type/Customer Request Status translated name, you may safely leave it empty (2).
