Getting a list of All Active Tasks that are assigned to you

[Grant Kemp]

Hi

I am looking to create a list of all active tasks that are assigned to me.  The problem is that

1. there are a variety of statuses for tickets that are 

- active

eg open, ready for dev, dev ready etc,

2. there are a variety of statuses for non-active. 

Eg: Done, Closed, Cancelled 

Is there a ticket property that we can query via JQL that can simply list those tickets that are active and assigned to me?

I tried using resolution field- but it seems that some tickets can be unresolved and closed...

This is my attempt: ( I assume there is a much simpler way!)

https://<Jira Cloud Instance>/issues/?jql=(status%20not%20in%20(Closed%2C%20Done)%20AND%20resolution%20%3D%20Unresolved)%20AND%20assignee%3DcurrentUser()%20ORDER%20BY%20summary%20ASC
 or enter the following JQL in Jira Search : (status not in (Closed, Done) AND resolution = Unresolved) AND assignee=currentUser() ORDER BY summary ASC

Hi Grant,

I gave you a wrong answer and will delete the old one. I'm sorry.

You can this in your JQL like that:

statusCategory = Done

That cracked it.. Thanks @Thomas Schlegel

 thought they would be good about surfacing an API for that - it seemed like such a strange thing not to surface.  Sometimes Jira is awesome.

Hi Grant,

<wrong answer, sorry>

Thanks for the quick reply Thomas

hmm = thats really frustrating - as there must be a settings flag for it - as you can tell Jira changes the color of the settings flags for whether they are active(blue) or inactive. (Green)

They should add a field for "Status group State"
