Filter that would display all the stories under several specific epics in my project but not ALL.

[Mireille]

My project is for both Infrastructure and Development. I am trying to create a Filter for my backlog, so I can see only the stories in the Epics that pertains to them. I tried: (both with AND and OR, but the filter does nothing

"Epic Link" != SRMP-239 OR "Epic Link" != SRMP-270 OR "Epic Link" != SRMP-271 ...

Hi @Mireille

assuming that you're able to list all the epics that you care about - from your example, it looks like you are - the usual syntax here would be

"Epic Link" IN ("SRMP-239", "SRMP-270" [...])

which is actually equivalent to 

"Epic Link" = "SRMP-239" OR "Epic Link" = "SRMP-270" OR [...]

Does that work?

Thank you so much Hannes, I have the right filter now :)

I think I am struggling with knowing when to use "=" versus "is" versus "in"
