Filtering Out Backlog Items from Next Gen Queries

Chad Girard

Attempting to create a query on a next-gen project that ONLY shows items on the agile board and ignores the backlog. (There are other parameters like missing labels and descriptions, but I can get those to work just fine.) We want to specifically groom items on our board that missed the refinement process.

Hi @Chad Girard 

Next-Gen projects are by-design very lightweight and simple.  As you have indicated, there is no status equivalent of Backlog, or a way to add one.

If you add/change anything specifically as part of backlog refinement, querying for that information will be your best chance. 

For example, if you only size or add a particular label after refinement, the absence of those values could be searched for on items you believe are on the board, perhaps by Assignee:

project = myProject
 AND "Story Point Estimate" IS EMPTY
 AND assignee IS NOT EMPTY
 ORDER BY rank

 

Best regards,

Bill
