Query on Quick Filter

Ilakiya Srinivasan

We have a few quick filters configured in our boards. When I select a single Quick filter, the results show up, whereas when I select two or more quick filters, results don't show up. It says 'Issues may be hidden by quick filters'. 

If I select the quick filters, for the assignee and the updated date and issue type.. basically different parameters, it shows the result. If I select quick filters, assignee = A, and another quick filter assignee = B, it will not show results. Why is that? I can write a query to show issues assigned to both users in a single query, but I just want to understand the logic or reason behind this. Can you please let me know..

Thanks much!

Hi @Ilakiya Srinivasan

the reason is that the JQL behind the quick filters are concatenated with an AND. In your example:

• quickfilter A: assignee = A
• quickfilter B: assignee = B

will be combined to

• assignee = A AND assignee = B

This will never return a result since there can be only one assignee set.

Having said that, in this post, some marketplace partner suggests their plugin, you might as well check the Atlassian marketplace for some solution that fits your needs.

Cheers,
Matthias.
