* Goal: create a swimlane that groups issues that are Priority 1 OR 2 excluding Epics A and B, and excluding Labels C and D. * Problem: the swimlane shows all Priority 1 issues but not any Priority 2 issues * JQL I've tried:* priority = "1" OR priority = "2" AND ("Epic Link" != "A" OR "Epic Link" != "B") AND (labels != "C" OR labels!="D") * (priority = "1" OR priority = "2") AND ("Epic Link" != "A" OR "Epic Link" != "B") AND (labels != "C" OR labels!="D") * with priority in quotes * with no quotes around the numbers 1 & 2 (swimlane disappears altogether) Maybe someone can help me fix my jql so it works?

Help needed: Swimlane JQL

Goal: create a swimlane that groups issues that are Priority 1 OR 2 excluding Epics A and B, and excluding Labels C and D.
Problem: the swimlane shows all Priority 1 issues but not any Priority 2 issues
JQL I've tried:
- priority = "1" OR priority = "2" AND ("Epic Link" != "A" OR "Epic Link" != "B") AND (labels != "C" OR labels!="D")
- (priority = "1" OR priority = "2") AND ("Epic Link" != "A" OR "Epic Link" != "B") AND (labels != "C" OR labels!="D")
- with priority in quotes
- with no quotes around the numbers 1 & 2 (swimlane disappears altogether)

Maybe someone can help me fix my jql so it works? Thanks in advance.

Hi @Alison Sawyer

from memory, so please excuse if not accurate: I suspect the parts "Epic Link" != "A" and labels!="D" exclude all issues where no epic link or label exists.

This is because the comparison checks "if there is a link that is not A", so if there is no link, then it does not match the condition.

Please verfiy this by using something like "(Epic Link" != "A" or "Epic Link" is empty") and "(labels != "D" or labels is empty)".

In any case, you can copy the JQL to the "Show all issues" list and check the actual result there.

Regards,

Harald

Are you using the built in Priority field or a custom priority field? Can yo show us an example of this field in and issue with the value 1 or 2 in it?

Is this swimlane the one at the top of your Swimlanes list?

Do you have Priority 2 issues that are linked to Epics? And that also have Labels values other than "C" or "D"?

Can you show us the screen image for a Priority 2 issue that you think should be included, showing us the Epic Link field and the Labels field?

Try:

priority in ("1", "2")…
