After changing the filter of my board so that it can see tasks from 2 different projects, I get this

[george_he]

Here is the query filter set for my board

project = XYZ OR project = ABC AND "Epic Link" in (ABC-2, ABC-4, ABC-5, ABC-49, ABC-84, ABC-115, ABC-135)

originally it included the "order by rank asc" at the end, i read else where that taking it out will fix it, but it didnt. I am not seeing why that query would prevent re-ording of the backlog items. literally just moving things above and below.

How can i regain that?

thank you.

Ah, sorry, thank you for the clarification. If I get it right, your JQL should look like this:

project = ABC OR (project = XYZ AND "Epic Link" in (ABC-2, ABC-4, ABC-5, ABC-49, ABC-84, ABC-115, ABC-135))

1. project = ABC ...  all the tasks in project ABC
2. project = XYZ AND "Epic Link" in (ABC-2, ABC-4, ABC-5, ABC-49, ABC-84, ABC-115, ABC-135) ... all the tasks in project XYZ, which have specific Epic Link
3. join two subqueries with OR

I figured it out actually, turns out i just needed to turn on the Rank toggle under General in the Board settings. apparently it got toggled off when I created a new custom query.

Hi @george_he ,

the problem is probably in the mixture of AND and OR.

Try to change it like this:

project in (XYZ, ABC) AND "Epic Link" in (ABC-2, ABC-4, ABC-5, ABC-49, ABC-84, ABC-115, ABC-135)

I tried that when I was first writing out the query, when I put AND, it would not display anything cause its only showing me tasks that belongs to both projects at the same time. to which there are none.

what i need the filter to do is to show me all the tasks of project ABC, as well as all tasks belonging to project XYZ's specific epics.  which is why i put OR. so it can show either or.
