Combine quick filters as an OR vs AND statement?

scott_gray

Hi Folks,

That title is a bit confusing, I know. but we're looking to see if there is a way to setup quickfilters so they are treated as OR statements instead of AND. eg- if I select quickfilters that are 'assignee was Person X' and another that is 'assignee was Person Y', we'd like to see cards that were assigned to EITHER Person X OR Person Y instead of only cards that were assigned to BOTH resources. Is this possible somehow?

Hi @scott_gray and welcome to the community!

Unfortunately, this is not possible natively. The best alternatives would be either creating a filter or dashboard.

The quick filters work as an AND because they're only useful for drilling down if they work together.

Your need is easy to meet though - create a quick filter with JQL that says "assignee was Person X or assignee was Person Y"

FYI, there's an open feature request for this. It had an odd name and it was hard to find to I updated the name and description a bit.

90% of the time it is better to have quick filters be OR instead of AND.

Almost every quick filter I have seen within the same board was to select one value of a field (usually assignee). On my team's kanban board we have ten team members, each of which have a quick filter. Then we have a quick filters for "unassigned", "Only My Issues" (which is redundant because you can just select your own filter), and "Recently Updated".

Of all of those, only "Recently Updated" should be AND'ed. All the rest should be OR'ed.

IMO each quick filter should have an operator field to say whether it should be AND or OR.

No, it's not. The quick filters are for drilling down into a board, de-cluttering it of the items you are not interested in.

99% of the time, you would want to do that with an AND, not an OR.

I'm with you on that flag for AND/OR toggling, defaulted to AND of course, to support what the filters are for. It would be an extra function that would expand the usefulness of quick filters into areas other than drilling down.

For those using Atlassian Cloud: [JRACLOUD-69062] As a user, I want to be able to choose between an AND keyword or OR keyword when more than one quick filter option is selected.

@Nic Brough -Adaptavist- I do not understand how you can know someone else's daily work.

As you community leader you should improve your collaborative skills.

Hi @Mark Segall ,

Let's say we have several quick filters in a board, and we want to be able to click 2 filters at the same time but see and "OR" functionality instead of "AND" only.

* One solution would be to select an "OR" option when the quick filter is being created
* Another solution would be to put an option on the board to combine "quick filters" by "OR" statement

Do you think it would be a big hassle to implement such a thing?

Actually there is a way to obtain the result you want, but it's unpractical if you have many choices (people). That is to write the filters to EXCLUDE instead of include for example a person.

So instead of a "John: Assignee = John" filter create a "Hide John: Assignee != John" filter.
This way you HIDE the people you don't want to see and by hiding or not hiding you can combine any people you like.

Aaron McMillin

Sounds like you actually want a multi-select combo box filter

Dawid Kabacinski

that is the way of thinking!

it works for me.
My need is to show other team members who is working with whom. We have lots of tasks where two people are working in parallel, so it is helpful to see all current tasks at once.

And I can not understand how someone can be the opinion "I know everything"!?!?

Nice I could help. I’m new here and a bit confused that even this ”proffesional” forum seem to be more about fighting than trying to help…

Tiny tidbit of news on this end, on the Cloud side. See my comment.
