how do i exclude a status on one issue type only in a filter query

[Joakim Wöntner]

i want to be able to filter out closed and verified status on only bugs. this is my current filter.

project = XXXX AND issuetype in (Bug, Epic, Task, "Bug (Sub-Task)", Sub-task) AND "TYP: Team[Dropdown]" = "XXXXXX" ORDER BY Priority DESC

Ranking

Any advice how to do this ?

You probably want to add a clause for 

and not (issuetype = Bug and status = verified)

The brackets here are critical, if you miss them when adding that to your query, it won't do what you expect.

I think I'd probably start with:

project = XXXX AND issuetype in (Bug, Epic, Task, "Bug (Sub-Task)", Sub-task) AND "TYP: Team[Dropdown]" = "XXXXXX" and not (issuetype = Bug and status = verified) ORDER BY Priority DESC

Hi @Joakim Wöntner 

You need to use OR in your query. It should looks something like this:

project = XXXX AND ((issuetype in (Bug) and stastus not in (Closed, Verified)) or issuetype in (Epic, Task, "Bug (Sub-Task)", Sub-task)) AND "TYP: Team[Dropdown]" = "XXXXXX" ORDER BY Priority DESC

Remember to use brackets to "close" OR. Wihtout that you will get more issues than you expected.

Hi @Joakim Wöntner 

Try something like this:

project = XXXX AND ((issuetype in (Epic, Task, "Bug (Sub-Task)", Sub-task) OR (issuetype = Bug AND status not in (Closed, Verified)) ) AND "TYP: Team[Dropdown]" = "XXXXXX" ORDER BY Priority DESC

If I got the idea right
