Board quarry

fariba_peyhani April 8, 2025

Hi everyone,

I'm writing a board query and trying to exclude epics that are in the "Done" or "Won't Do" status.

Each epic includes some tasks and user stories. Even though I've written a JQL query to exclude those epics, they still appear on the board. 

Has anyone else run into this issue or found a workaround?

project =AND ((issuetype = Epic AND status NOT IN (Done, "Won't Do")) OR (issuetype != Epic)) ORDER BY created DESC

Hello @fariba_peyhani 

Do you mean that the Epics you are trying to exclude are still showing in the board?

Or are you saying that the child issues of the excluded Epics are displaying on the board, and you don't want them to?

Hi @fariba_peyhani,

Give the following a try:

Project = X AND (issuetype = Epic AND status NOT IN (Done, "Won't Do")
OR (issuetype != Epic)) ORDER BY created DESC

On a side note: you are sure that Done and Won't Do are statuses and not resolutions?

Hope this helps!
