I'm trying to write a JQL query with component filter with value not equal to Prod, and this gives zero matched issues below is the query used,

project = <projectName>  AND component != Prod

NOTE: The respective tickets/issues have component field empty.

Hi @Mohan Kona and welcome to the Community! If you want to find issues with no component on them, you need to search for them explicitly like this: Project = AND Component IS EMPTY You can combine that with your previous search if you want to find issues with a different component listed than "Prod" Project = AND (Component IS EMPTY OR Component != "Prod") Hope this helps!
