Problem

In an Advanced Roadmaps for Jira plan, while it is possible to exclude or include specific releases, it is not possible to exclude issues that do not have a Release (Fix Version).

For example, in a scenario where we only want issues from one or a few specific releases, we'll always be presented with issues without a release as well.

For reference, the setting for Inclusion and Exclusion of releases can be accessed at a plan level by going to Configure > Exclusion Rules > View Releases.

Suggested Solution

On Configure > Exclusion Rules > View Releases, a checkbox to exclude issues without a Release (Fix Version) could be provided.

Why This Is Important

This would an extra level of customization which is valuable when the same project/issue sources are used for multiple teams and releases and where issues without a Fix Version should not be considered.

Workaround

You may edit the Issue Sources on your plan and add the following condition to them:

• AND fixVersion is not EMPTY

If you're using a project as source, you could create a filter with:

• project = MYPROJECTKEY AND fixVersion is not EMPTY and use that as Source.

If you're using a Board, you can create a filter with the same query as the board plus the FixVersion condition.
