How to exclude certain label when refining the search?

[Samir Koirala]

I am fairly new to the Atlassian Community. I want to view all the issues that don’t have Labels for eg: TST and PRD.

What I tried: project = DEVOPS AND labels != TST AND labels != PRD. 
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi @Samir Koirala,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

When you are searching for specific labels you also have to include when labels is empty for it to work. So in this case your query should look like this:

project = DEVOPS AND (labels not in (TST, PRD) OR labels is EMPTY)

I only want the Stories NOT having those labels. So it would be:

project = DEVOPS AND (labels NOT in (TST, PRD) OR labels is EMPTY)

You are absolutely correct.
