Assistance with Complex Board Filter Query

Sarah Aubuchon

This is my current filter where the user can't manage the sprint despite having permissions to do so:

assignee in membersOf(operators) AND project != "IS Support" AND assignee != A_Ferro ORDER BY Rank

 If I single out each of the projects, rather than saying !=, the user can manage the sprint.

assignee in membersOf(operators) AND project in("IS Support", XP, Lynxgate, "Operations Daily Runsheet Updates") AND assignee != A_Ferro ORDER BY Rank

Is there any way to use the != project and still allow the user to be able to manage the sprint?

Thanks in advance!

Hello @Sarah Aubuchon 

As per JIra guidelines, the user should have "Manage sprint" permissions on all the projects which the underlying JQL filter is fetching.

In your case when the data is fetched from specific projects 

project in("IS Support", XP, Lynxgate, "Operations Daily Runsheet Updates") 

then JIra knows that user has manage sprint permissions on all these projects hence everything works well. But in case of NOT operator Jira doesn't know from how many projects data can come and thus user will need to have manage sprint permissions on all projects except the project in NOT. Thus, it's imperative to mention the project explicitly or make sure user has manage sprint permissions on all the projects can provide the results except the project in the NOT operator.
