How can I exclude using 2 subsets of text, see statement below

Question

project = value" AND issuetype = value AND "Change Category[Dropdown]" IN (value) AND updated >= value AND description does not contain value1 and value2

I've tried and it excludes description not equal to value1, but includes description equal to value2:

project = value" AND issuetype = value AND "Change Category[Dropdown]" IN (value) AND updated >= value AND description !~ value1 AND description !~ value2

Adjust the the following line in your JQL as follow as related with the Description field testing...

NOT (description ~ value1 or description ~ value2)

This should work...

Hope this helps.

Best, Joseph

Hi @Linda Pallett

I think you'll want to use NOT (description ~ value1 OR description ~ value2)

project = "value" 
AND issuetype = value 
AND "Change Category[Dropdown]" IN (value) 
AND updated >= value 
AND NOT (description ~ value1 OR description ~ value2)

Yes it does exclude value2, but includes value one.  Yes, I want it to exclude both values that are for the same field.
