Description

The "Not In" query operator doesn't work as expected if a board is set up to use project milestones (subprojects).

Example (filtering out tasks assigned to specific teams):

https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/query/Sy6OU1BCQoDE/#R returns task T358268 as expected
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/query/QrhqcVd72bLV/#R returns task T358268 (tagged Data-Platform-SRE (2024.03.25 - 2024.04.14)) where I would expect the "Not In: Data-Platform-SRE" operator to filter it out.

@valerio.bozzolan pointed out that this was captured in a (still open) Phabricator bug https://secure.phabricator.com/T12438.

Super-useful comment:

I also ran into this issue, as reported in https://secure.phabricator.com/T12438 it also affects the "In Any" (or any()) searches, and makes it impossible to search for tasks that are in projectA or projectB, which seems quite a common use case:

Searching for projectA returns both tasks tagged with projectA and tasks tagged with any milestone of projectA

Searching for any(projectA) any(projectB) returns tasks tagged with either projectA or projectB, but does not return tasks that are tagged with a milestone associated with projectA or projectB.

@valerio.bozzolan thanks for copy-pasting my comment, I didn't see a task was already created because I only checked the Bug Reports workboard. Should the Bug Reports tag be added to this task?

Interesting triage. In legacy upstream this was a "feature request 🌈" - https://secure.phabricator.com/T12438

Let's wait a blessed comment from experienced Blessed Committers
