Filter issuess with multiple labels on with JQL

[Fer]

Hey Folks!

I have been searching for a way to JQL a query which will list all issues with MORE than one label added to it.

I cant find a way.

I know how to filter issues with the labels I want, for instance label = something but what if I want a list of issues that have more than 1 label. I got like 30 labels.

Any guidance is much appreciated!

Thanks!!!

I am on JIRA 8.5.4 btw

Hi @Fer ,

Welcome to the community! Using JQL you wouldn't be able to do this generically (i.e. label is x and ahs more than 1 label) . Label's is not a numerical field and the entire field is global, so if you want to do it you want have to make the filter pairs

lets say you had Label A, Label B, Label C

You would need to do a JQL for the combos

so

(labels = Label A AND labels = Label B AND labels = Label C) OR (labels = Label A AND labels = Label B) OR (labels = Label A  AND labels = Label C) OR (labels = Label B AND labels = Label C) etc

Otherwise you would need to do a database search, from the database itself or via tool like scriptrunner

Oh thanks so much for your detailed response! This is great.

Well, due to the ammount of labels I got (around 30) I believe I wont be able to apply the pair solution. I will check scriptrunner! Thanks!!
