What is the JQL filter for Severity(sev 1, sev 2, sev 3 or No Severity)

How do we write the filter to define Severity (sev 1, sev 2, sev 3 or No Severity)

Hi 

Also it depends on field type of “Severity”, 

you can try :

Severity in (“sev 1”)

you can find useful information yourself - Advanced searching - fields reference.

If you want, you can try basic search.

Hi,

Severity in (“sev 1”) didn't work. I tried Severity=1/2/3 and it worked. But for No Severity I tried Severity is NULL or Severity not in (1,2,3). Nothing showed up. How to filter issues that has not been assigned any Severity?

[Alexander Bondarev]

Have you tried “Severity is empty”?

what type of field “Severity” is it ?

are you sure that you have issues with empty “Severity”?)

[Sheela Hansda (IN)]

I want to find issues that has not been assigned any Severity. "Severity is empty" gives me the full result set which means no filter is being applied.

It looks like you firstly should check your issue’s screens configuration and delete it from unwanted screens.

look through this article - Configuring a screen's tabs and fields.

and after that(when field will be just on correct screens) try this JQL again “Severity is empty”.

JQL is a search language, it defines nothing.  A search for "Severity = sev1" will find what you expect it to find (and "Severity is empty" will find issues with no severity set)

I think there's more to your question than just "how do I use JQL to find things with severity" though - could you tell us more?
