JIRA issue with empty component

[Klinta Šverna]

Hi!

How to search issues with empty component (component = EMPTY), excluding from search results those issues where the component is not set (i.e., the projects / issue types that don't use components).

Hi @Klinta Šverna , 

You can use component = empty or component in (empty). This will return all issues with empty components. To exclude projects not using components, let's consider this scenario. 

• Projects not using components: Marketing Project, Project ABC
• Projects with components: Test Project, VM Project
• issuetypes with components: New Feature, Customer Reported Bug

Given the following scenarios you can use these JQL. 

Project in ("Test Project","VM Project") and issuetype in ("New Feature", "Customer Reported Bug") and component = empty  --> Will return issues with empty components under Project and issuetype using components. 

Hope this helps.

Hi @Klinta Šverna ,

welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Unfortunatelly I don't think it's possible. You can exclude some projects from search using 

project not in (KEY1, KEY2, ...)

But you would need to look into these project, whether there are some components or not (or use REST API to get this information).
