Jira filter for empty checkbox field

[Andreas Stoffel]

Dear community,

I need a filter query which should return all issues where the checkbox field "Acceptance Criteria" is empty. There are no pre-defined checkbox values but the teams can add their Acceptance Criteria by themselves.

Empty in this case means that no checkbox options have been added to the field. It should NOT return issues that have one or multiple Acceptance Criterias (checkboxes) which are simply not checked.

I hope my ask is understandable.

Hello. This JQL should do the trick:

"Your Fieldname" is empty

If you currently use the "Basic" searching of issues, switch that to "JQL" by using the button on the right side next to the search.
