How can you filter out blocked issues in the dashboard?

[Baruch Lerner]

I am trying to filter out the blocked issues from the different filters in my dashboard.

According to what I understand it should be:

 issuelinktype not in ("is blocked by") 

for some reason, it doesn't show anything for me.

The full formula I'm using:

project in (IT, "DO", DS, QA, "Apps / Websites") AND status in (New, Processing, Review) *AND Issuelinktype not in ("is blocked by")* AND (duedate <= -0d OR duedate = EMPTY) AND priority = High ORDER BY "DS Version" ASC, status DESC

JIRA will not send an email to inactive users even if they are in the watcher field. If you must remove them in bulk, you might have to do it in DB (I didn't know that bulk stop watching doesn't remove inactive users).

Thanks for the info. Just noticed, that JIRA sends email to inactive users when mentioned in an issue.

Looks like there is an open issue for it (https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-27992). It is slightly different but should address the problem.

Thanks for the hint. I have voted for it.
