Quik Filter all stories in a project that have not been assigned a FixVersion

Question

JQL for the quick filter: 
project = "ProjectName" AND issuetype = Story AND fixVersion is EMPTY

Intended result - returns all stories in the project with an empty fixVersion field.

There are definitely two stories in the backlog that have an empty fixVersion.

When selecting the filter, ALL issues are filtered (i.e. the two stories with empty fields are filtered out as well)

During search I have come across people with similar issues, however none of their resolutions appear to work. Can anyone else help/provide further suggestions or guidance?

Hi @Fazila Ashraf ,

unfortunately the board is on a closed system, however it is a standard scrum board with the default To Do, In Progress and Done columns.

The story was newly created in the Backlog (To Do). Not visible in backlog using the above saved filter (verified that versions and Epics both showing "All Issues"

When story moved to active sprint in To Do column, saved filter still does not return results, but same JQL works fine in the View all issues and filters page...

Can you confirm that there are no subfilters on the board? May be a reducted screenshot will help to give you more guidance :)

Hi @Fazila Ashraf , thanks for your prompt reply.

Only filter on board is project = "ProjectName" ORDER BY Rank ASC

the JQL works as expected when run directly against all issues?
