Empty/Missing Fields Search

[Stephen Archibald]

Hey guys, 

I'm trying to create a filter that specifically looks for missing information on bugs. (E.g missing labels or missing attachments) I essentially want the filter to bring up any bugs that have a missing field even if one of the other fields has been filled in. So for example if the user had attached an image but had forgot to add a label i still want that bug to show in the result. 

The problem i'm having is when i have created my filter it will bring up any bugs that have missing fields from my specified criteria but as soon as one of those filters is filled in it will disappear from the list. 

Is there any way i can create a filter that flags bugs with missing criteria but still includes bugs that have some of there fields filled in?

Hi @Stephen Archibald ,

Maybe I misunderstand, but looks like it:

(attachments is EMPTY or labels is EMPTY or fixVersion is EMPTY ) 

Return zero-or-more empty field.

Man that works perfectly! I was over complicating it haha. I did eventualyl end up filtering in individual searches into one filter but your method is much more convenient. Thank you very much!

Sorry i should also clarify that once all the missing criteria has been filled in I need the bug to no longer appear in the search result.
