what's wrong with my query?

Question

project in (TCCCE, MCI, MPOW) AND issuekey not in childIssuesOf(TCCGRP-217) AND issuekey not in ChildIssuesOf(TCCGRP-237) AND issuekey not in ChildIssuesOf(TCCGRP-239) AND issuetype = capability ORDER BY key ASC

This doesnt seem to return any results when i use to search

If you run the original query would the result set return issues that would be part of the projects you added later on project in (TCCCE, MCI, MPOW)?

Thanks for responding @Kurt Klinner
I am not trained with jql queries so i copied it from another query.. TCCGRP-217 is a capability and the childissuesare initiatives

it was originally this when i copied it which was returning results

issuekey not in childIssuesOf(TCCGRP-217) AND issuekey not in ChildIssuesOf(TCCGRP-237) AND issuekey not in ChildIssuesOf(TCCGRP-239) AND issuetype = capability ORDER BY key ASC

Then i added this query

project in (TCCCE, MCI, MPOW) as its returning all projects in the company and i only needed to see projects under these 3 boards

first of all welcome to the Atlassian community.

Did you try to deconstruct your query and run them piece by piece to see which of the conditions might be not returning the results that you expect?

Is the relationship for example between TCCGRP-217 and it#s child something like Initiative -> Epic or is it more like links between issues?
