ACP 600 Question

[Priyanka khare]

Hello ,

I am preparing for ACP 600 and came across this question -

All projects use a simplified workflow which has three statuses (Open, In Progress, Closed) and all global transitions.
You need to find issues which were never In Progress. Select the correct JQL query.
A. Status WAS Open OR Status WAS Closed B. Status != “In Progress”
C. Status NOT Changed TO “In Progress”
D. Status WAS NOT “In Progress”
E. Status ONLY IN (Open, Closed)

what should be the correct answer to this?

Shouldn't it be D?

Regards

Priyanka

The "WAS NOT" operator is used to find issues that have never had the specified value for the specified field.

Find issues that do not have, and have never had a status of “In Progress”

Status WAS NOT “In Progress”

Hi @Priyanka khare ,

I tested it on a Jira Software Server environment.

At A I get the issues that were in the mentioned statuses, but they may also have been “In Progress”

At B I get the issues that are not currently in the “In Progress” status, but they may also have been “In Progress”.

The JQL at C and E are not possible (Error in the JQL Query: Expecting 'IN' but got 'Changed'. Resp. Error in the JQL Query: Expecting operator but got 'ONLY'.)

With D, I do not get issues in the result that were on status In Progress. 

So D is the correct answer I think.  

regards, Marco
