How do I make "Status in (to do, closed, in qa)" to work?

[Luis Frias]

I'm trying to make a "Jira issue/filter" to show the next info:

"issuetype in (Defect, Story) and status in (to do, closed, in qa)"

If I enter them separately it works but these together doesn't...

Hi Luis,

You need to put quotation marks around each status that is a phrase instead of a single word, like this:

issuetype in (Defect, Story) AND status in ("to do", closed, "in qa")

Thanks a lot Michael,

That is weird because on other scenario I didn't type the quotations and it worked!!, but it is working with the quotations :D.

Appreciate that!

I can't explain why it works without quotes when it's the only criteria, but glad it's working!

It can work it out from the placement of key words.  This stops working when your query includes key words (e.g. project = and)

Hi Luis, 

Do you get any messages when you try to run it? When you say it "doesn't work" what do you mean?
