Backlog - quick filter to show only issues with flags

[Sven Koch]

In the backlog I can flag specific issues. 

What would be the JQL to create a quick filter which will only show the flagged issues?

[Warren · Accepted solution]

Hi Sven

As per my answer to your previous question, to only show flagged issues, your filter would be

Flagged is not EMPTY

[Sven Koch]

Hi Warren, 

your suggestion put into a quickfilter gives me the error "Field 'Flagged' does not exist or you do not have permission to view it."

The solution is: In the German edition flagged is translated into "markiert"

flagged IS NOT EMPTY works

Hi Sven

Try looking at this link - you need to sort out the error before continuing with this

[Ignacio Pulgar]

Have just created the quickfilter suggested by Warren and it works like a charm.

Found the answer: 

We have the German version installed - which translates SOME of the fields into German but most are not translated making it difficult to follow instructions ;-(

Flagged means "markiert" in German - and I found the field in the field configuration

By using "markiert is not empty"  your suggesetion works!!!

Thank you!

I don't think language has much to do with why the JQL works for some users and not others. 

Here's why this is happening (as stated in my answer to a similar question):

The "Flagged" field must be on a screen in your project in order for a JQL search on it to work.

You can still add a flag to an issue using an agile board and right clicking the issue, but you cannot filter by the field unless you have it on a screen.

If it is on a screen, you can also "flag" an issue by updating the field's value to check the Impediment checkbox that appears when you edit the field value.

JQL could be:

Flagged=Impediment

or

Flagged is not EMPTY

In Spanish Works as

Marcado is not EMPTY

[Allan Schwarb]

We use right click/'Add Flag' to indicate an in-position 'Blocked' card ... above JQL didn't work to locate the Flag ...

This worked: 

Flagged. is not EMPTY

Ref.

Flagged. - cf[44901] <-- This worked ... 'Flagged.'

Flagged - cf[16737] <-- This did not work ... 'Flagged'

[Ignacio Pulgar]

Try this quick filter:

Flagged = Impediment

[Sven Koch]

In the German edition the field flagged is called "markiert" and 

"markiert  is not EMPTY" works
