Usage of multiple verbose filters

[Some Guy]

Hi,

I created multiple (verbose) filters which give me a set of issues. For example

Filter "A"

issueType NOT IN (Defect, Test)

and filter "B"

createdDate >= "2024-01-01"

In the next step, I want to use that two filters in other queries like this

"Epic Link" = MyEpic AND filter IN (A,B)

This output is a full outer join with all the issues from filter A and filter B but I need a inner join, which works with

"Epic Link" = MyEpic AND filter IN (A) AND filter IN (B)

Is there a way to make the query as short (and readable) as possible with a inner join?

Thanks.

Hello @Some Guy 

What you have is as best you can get.

• Filter = A OR Filter = B
• Filter = A AND Filter = B

You cannot get more succinct than that.

In my opinion, to increase visibility, I would include all clauses in the same filter, separating searches with line breaks:

"Epic Link" = MyEpic AND
issueType NOT IN (Defect, Test) AND
createdDate >= "2024-01-01"

Obviously, the filter is longer, but at a glance, the user can understand the filter's clauses.

Hope this help you!

Kind regards.

I think we use the server version, unfortunately I cannot use multiple lines to separate it.

Hi @Some Guy , you can start a new line from Jira JLQ search with Shift + Intro. Other Alternative is to build the query in an external text editor and copy/paste in Jira.
