Feature request: Allow negative label filter for issues/merge requests

Such a feature exists in Github. e.g.

One positive filter

One positive and one negative filter

The Github search query looks like this to the user:

is:open is:issue label:"Awaiting feedback" -label:"Issue tracker" 

Given Gitlab doesn't (yet) have this concept of an advanced filter bar, it could simply be supported via an updated URL for now:

...&-label_name=blocked

Title changed from Allow negative label filter for issues/merge requests to Feature request: Allow negative label filter for issues/merge requests

Sorry, the title should have been prefixed with "Feature request". Now updated.

Feature requests should be posted at http://feedback.gitlab.com not here.

Please consider this feature for a near future version. We have a Blocked label but we can't exclude it in issue list.

Hey! It's been at least 2 weeks (and several releases of GitLab) since we heard from you. I'm closing this issue but if you still experience this problem, please open a new issue (but also reference the old issue(s)). Make sure to also include the necessary debugging information conforming to the issue tracker guidelines found in our contributing guidelines.

Thanks for using GitLab!

Status changed to closed

@mattl What were you expecting to hear and from who?

This is a feature request and I think people have been waiting to hear if there are any plans to implement it and when can it be expected. I think this is a much needed feature.

I think this issue can be closed in favor of https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/21747.

Thanks for the info. Agreed.

I don't see how the other issue covers this particular topic. It's closed and I can't find the feature in the current version. Was it forgotten?

Looks like it moved to https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/27747
