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 in a custom filter to distinguish between the 2 statuses.

Display items by same-name statuses when the statuses are associated with different groups

  1. Go to the Filter drop-down for the filter that you want to customize for a list of tasks, for example.
    This works the same for projects and issues as well.

  2. Click New filter.

  3. From the first drop-down in the upper-left corner, select Task > Status.

  4. Select Equals for the modifier, then select one of the statuses you want to report on.

    For example, in a task report, add Status Equals New Status, if you want to display only tasks which are in a status of New Status.

    note tip
    TIP
    Notice that you have only one option for a status named New Status.

  5. Click Text Mode.
    The following code should display in the space provided:

    OR:1:status=NST
OR:1:status_Mod=in
    note note
    NOTE
    Only one status displays here. The status line displays one of the 3-letter keys for one of the statuses.

  6. Add the following 2 lines of code to add the status that is missing from the filter:

    OR:2:status=NES
OR:2:status_Mod=in

  7. Click Apply, then Save as new.

    The list displays both tasks with a status of “New Status” from Group A and with a status of “New Status” from Group B.
