Kanban board filter query to include issues with a certain Priority but in only one issueType

[Hannah Stone]

I'm trying to write a JQL filter for a Kanban board that includes only issues that have a certain Priority assigned, but only for one Issue Type in the project. What's the best way to do that?

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

A JQL quick filter like this should do the trick:

!(Priority is empty and issuetype = bug)

Thanks, Nic! I think I wrote my initial question a bit wrong. I want to keep all the issuetypes, but only include issues in one issuetype that have a certain priority assigned (we don't use the Empty state for priority, we have one called "Unassigned"). I tried your suggestion but it excluded all the other issue types from the query. 

It's part of a larger query so I added it on like this:

!(project = [xyz] AND (assignee != [xyz] or assignee is EMPTY) AND "Resolution Estimate[Date]" is EMPTY) AND (fixVersion in unreleasedVersions() OR fixVersion is EMPTY) AND (priority = Unassigned AND issuetype = "Prod Defect")

Any ideas? Thank you!!

No problem, that clause you've added there will throw out all of the other issue types because there is "and issuetype = Prod Defect" in it.

Try replacing

(priority = Unassigned AND issuetype = "Prod Defect")

with 

( (priority = Unassigned AND issuetype = "Prod Defect") OR issuetype != "Prod Defect")

That worked, thank you so much!! I know this is a pretty basic question but I'm fairly new to JQL. Appreciate your help!
