issuetype != Task OR subtasks

What is the error in this JQL Query

[Kevin Johnson · Accepted solution]

Hi @Ramanathan Hariharan ,

If you are trying to get issues that are not task or subtask try something like "issuetype != Task or issuetype != Subtask"

If you want all issues other than both try "issuetype not in (Task,Subtask)"

Error is due to the issuetype not mentioned, you cannot give the value continously.

You might want to use functions instead of hardcoded lists of issuetypes.

For example, your query would probably be 

issuetype != Task and issuetype not in subtaskIssueTypes()
