Kan Ban board sub filter

[Chrystal]

I have added the subfilter:

(project = EmpireRigging AND issuetype != Sub-task) AND (fixVersion in unreleasedVersions() OR fixVersion is EMPTY)

and once I save it, it updates to:

project = EmpireRigging AND issuetype != Sub-task AND (fixVersion in unreleasedVersions() OR fixVersion is EMPTY)

Notice the project and issue type do not have ( ).

Is there a way to fix this and make the parenthesis stay?

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

I think it is simplifying the filter for you - the parenthesis that are getting removed are not needed because the clauses are all being joined with the same joining operator; "X and Y and Z" is the same logic at "(X and Y) and Z"

Hi @Chrystal 

Yes, and...to Nic's answer:

Jira Cloud does this in a few places with JQL, but not consistently everywhere.  And...sometimes it removes the parentheses but does not re-order/re-structure the query to match what you planned!  One lesson here is to observe what happens and test after entering your JQL.

Kind regards,
