Filter: display items by same-name statuses when the statuses are associated with different groups
You can have a task status assigned to Group A named New Status with the 3-letter key NST. You may have another task status assigned to Group B also named New Status with the 3-letter key NES. Although the names for the 2 statuses can be identical, the 3-letter code is always unique.
For more information about group statuses, see Create or edit a group status.
Using the filter builder, you cannot identify between the 2 statuses that have the same name. You must use Text Mode to distinguish between the 2 statuses.
