When adding multiple filters for work packages, they are combined such that a work package will only show up if it conforms with **all** filters.
This is a reasonable approach especially given that starting without any filters and thus **all** the packages visible, it is natural to filter packages **out**.
However, there is no way to filter packages **in**. That is, adding more filters to the list will always reduce the number visible packages (or keep it the same).
Here’s a screenshot of an example scenario. The result list is empty.
The reason is that the filters are combined with logical “and”, which means that all conditions of all the filters must be met for a single package to show up.
In the example case, the package properties “Author”, “Watcher” and “Responsible” all express some kind of involvement of a user (in this case, me).
The desired behaviour would be to combine the 3 filters with logical “or”, such that any package would show up where I am only “Author”, only “Watcher”, only “Responsible”, or any combination thereof.
This way the example filter configuration could be used to find packages that show involvement of any degree (not just those with all 3 properties set to me), which would be helpful.
