Symptoms
- When using the
resolution = Unresolved
JQL issues are returned. - When using
resolution != Fixed
, issues with an Unresolved resolution are not returned.
Cause
The Unresolved status is considered to be a null value, so not equals will not return it.
Workaround
Use the resolution != Fixed OR resolution is EMPTY
JQL to return these issues.
If using a project in this query, ensure to use parenthesis, for example
project = CAPTAINPLANET AND (resolution != Fixed OR resolution is EMPTY)
.
