The field used to store the SLA value only has numeric operators, but no "is empty" test.

Step to reproduce :

• Configure an SLA in a way some of the requests are not matched
• Try to create a JQL expression specifically matching the missed issues.

Needed for :

• Checking that the JSD admins / project admins are not missing any issues in the SLA configurations.
• Checking the SLA configuration matches a specific set of issues

Affects Versions : 1.2.6.1, 3.2.7, 3.3.0

Workaround

1. Create a saved filter like "My SLA Not Empty" with JQL like: project = MYPROJECT AND filter != "My SLA Not Empty"
2. Reference the saved filter in a NOT query: project = MYPROJECT AND filter != "My SLA Not Empty"
