Additive quick filters on an Agile board

Alex Bryant February 10, 2022

I have an agile board that I've created some quick filters for, for simplicities sake:

  • "To Do" - status in ("To Do")
  • "In Progress" - status in ("In Progress")

These filters work nicely on their own, but obviously when you use both quick filters, no issues will display as an issue cannot simultaneously be in both of those states. 

Is there JQL that would work for those filters that would essentially allow them to work additively, i.e. when toggled the filters are combined with an "Or" rather than an "And"?

You could make each quick filter EXCLUDE items.

Then all unchecked items would remain.

@Alex Bryant ,

You can create separate quick filter like this

Status in ("To Do", "In Progress")

This filter will populate the issues which are in either To Do status or In Progress Status

Accept the answer if it helps

Thanks,
Sachin

Hi @Alex Bryant ,

as you already mentioned I guess that´s the point that you "activate" (by toggling) 2 filters to the same entity.

If this is really a needed and often used scenario is there any conflict in creating another quick filter just for that special case (with a jql covering covering both status) ?

That seems to me to be the easiest solutionl.

 

Best

Stefan
