JQL Query Question

Question

Hi,

I'm having trouble with JQL. I want to create a JQL based on the built-in field "component", which has a list pre-defined values (e.g. HW, SW, ME). An issue's component field can have 0 to multiple values.

I want to create a query that searches for issues whose "component" field does NOT CONTAIN "SW" ALONE. For example, Issue 1's component field has "HW, SW", Issue 2's component field has "SW", and Issue 3's component field has no value. Issue 1 and issue 3 would be returned in such query.

How can I create such query using JQL? Thanks!

and  (not component in ("documentation", "research") OR component is empty)

works

Does this work?

project = x AND ( NOT (component IN ("SW")) OR component=Empty)

put the NOT outside the (component IN (x)) clause. Not sure why you also need the OR Empty part.
