How can I see a list of tasks that may not be assigned to a project?

Hi @Karen Watts -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Issues in Jira (such as Task) are always in one-and-only-one project. They are never stand-alone outside of a project.

Instead, do you mean which Tasks do not have a person assigned to them?

Best regards,
Bill

Hi @Karen Watts ,

Thanks for posting and welcome to the community.

Could you please elaborate your query? The tasks are created within a Jira project and task is just one type of issue.

Cheers

Thanks! That is what I thought but someone told me that there could be orphan tasks.. so I was concerned!

All issues in Jira live inside a project, the projects are containers for issues

I am assuming your "tasks" are Jira issues - it is very common to see an issue type called "task" - an issue is "something that needs some attention/action" and "task" is obviously a good match for that! But you may also be seeing bugs, features, stories and so-on work the same as your tasks.

Anyway, as a task is a Jira-issue, then actually, you can't have any tasks that cannot be assigned to a project. All issues can go into any of the projects. Technically.

What I think you may be asking is "give me a list of issues that are not in a specific project". A search for "Project != ABC" will find all issues that are not in project ABC. You can (permissions allowing) move them into ABC if you need to.
