Scriptrunner logic for Components

[Thayne Munson]

I am running a scriptrunner filter to identify all the epics my team is working on in a given sprint.  

project = dis and issueFunction in epicsOf("sprint = 1625") order by status asc, assignee asc

There are some epics that I want to filter out of the query based on 2 component values(A,B).  When I add in the components I don't want, it also filters out epics with no components which I want to keep in the query. I have tried this query 2 ways.

1  Component != A and Component != B

2  Component not in (A, B)

Any thoughts to how I can make this work?  Thanks.

I knew if I kept looking through community responses I would find the answer.  I wasn't aware of the 'Component is Empty' option.  This fixed my problem. 

(component is EMPTY OR (component is not EMPTY AND component not in (A, B, C, D, E)))
