Problem to solve

As described by the customer:

I want to search all open MRs regardless of any state. So also unassigned and assigned MRs. How can I do that?

With the and combination of Assignee if I combine Assignee:None Assignee:Any this does not work.

Some filters can be added multiple times. These include but are not limited to assignees and labels. When you filter with these multiple filters of the same type, the AND logic is applied.

But I would need OR logic here.

Target audience

Further details

Proposal

I would suggest either of the following:

  1. The ability to search by status, i.e. status:open
  2. Expand the options of "Any" and "None" to include "All".

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?

The ability to search all open merge requests.
