Filter operators

A reference for every filter operator in BetterBoard — what it does, which field types support it, and how it behaves.

Single-value selection fields

Available on single-value fields such as Status, Priority, Work item Type, Assignee, Reporter, Fix Version, Component, and single-select custom fields.

Operator	Meaning
`is`	Matches exactly one selected value
`is any of`	Matches any of the selected values (OR)
`is not`	Excludes one selected value
`is none of`	Excludes all of the selected values
`includes all of`	Work item must have every selected value (AND — for multi-value fields like Labels, Sprint, and multi-select custom fields)
`is empty`	Field has no value
`is not empty`	Field has any value

Multi-value selection fields

Labels, Sprint, multi-select custom fields, and Assets fields use is any of, is none of, contains all, is empty, and is not empty. The selected values for Assets are linked Jira objects, so those conditions compare object identity rather than attributes. See Assets fields for the complete Assets scope.

Text operators

Available on text fields (Summary, short text, and URL custom fields).

Operator	Meaning
`is`	Exactly matches the entered text
`is not`	Does not exactly match the entered text
`contains`	Field includes the search string (case-insensitive substring match)
`does not contain`	Field does not include the search string
`is empty`	Field has no value
`is not empty`	Field has any value

Numeric operators

Available on number and rating custom fields.

Operator	Meaning
`is`	Exactly equal to the number
`is not`	Not equal to the number

Blockers operators

`is blocking`	Is blocking at least one other work item
