# Extended JQL syntax for system fields

**Issue Matrix for Jira Cloud **offers you an extended JQL syntax that allows filtering of issues in Jira Software and Service Management based on the values of the system fields of the current issue. This JQL syntax is an extension of Jira’s query language (JQL).   
You can see more information on how you can use the feature in our [JQL extension](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/IMC/pages/227903145) document.
