how to query tags

[Anon Anon]

The only good thing about the new Rally seems to be the ability to filter by tags, but there are many usability issues with the new version that make it not so desireable, such as being too sluggish in IE and MF.  GC seems to work better, but seaching on story numbers only works for items that are displayed on the screen, also a page can only be a max of 50.

In the old Rally tried constructing a query without success using
((Tags.Name = "Blue") AND (Tags.Name = "Green"))

Adding this query specified in the Rally Help screen to a custom grid results in:
Could not parse: Unknown operator ")"

Hi Don,

Your query looks good. However I replicated the same error Could not parse: Unknown operator ")" in a custom grid by omitting the white space around equal sign in front of "tag2" as shown below:



Here is the error:



It was fixed by adding a white space around the equal sign:



Here is the result - two stories are returned:



Next, I tested the same query in the WS API interactive document (https://rally1.rallydev.com/slm/doc/webservice/). This time three stories were returned since a direct WS API query is scoped  to the entire workspace by default, while in the UI, it was scoped to the current project. I had another story in my workspace, outside of the project tree of my current project, that was not returned by the custom grid but was returnd in the WS API doc:



Custom grid returns only the first page of the results. The max page size in WS API is 200. The default page size is 20. You may certainly change the PageSize on the settings dialog of a custom grid to 200. However if there are more results, they will not be returned by the custom grid. It does not page automatically. A cusotm app can be written with AppSDK2 (https://help.rallydev.com/apps/2.0rc3/doc/) (if you are comfortable with javascript) that would return all artifacts that meet that criteria, since a rallygrid component pages automatically if its config property limit is set to Infinity.

It is true that it is not unusual to observe a difference in performance between browsers, where Rally is more performant in Chrome compare to FF or IE. We continue to work in this area to provide customers with good experience across modern browsers.

Nick, I am not sure of the solution completely because all the items in the boxes are not showing any content. in any case I tried the following queries with spaces around the equals removed: ((Tags.Name="qa")) ((Tags.Name="Blue") AND (Tags.Name="Green")) and the result is always still: Could not parse: Unknown operator ")" Also I am unable to edit, I can select edit but it does not do anything, so the only solution is to delete and start new. -Don J.
