This portal is to open public enhancement requests against the products and services belonging to IBM Sustainability Software.

- The EWM RFE Review board has reviewed this request.
This RFE reads like a defect or could be a mis-understanding of what “Exists” is checking for. “Exists”, in this context, is checking for whether the work item has the attribute, not whether the attribute has a non-empty value.
Pl. refer to attached screen shots:
Screenshot 1: In this screenshot, 4306 is included in the query results because it was created after the attribute was added to the Defect work item type. So it “has” the attribute, even though it doesn’t have a non-empty value for the attribute.
Screenshot 2: Running a different query we can see that the previous query has indeed excluded items. The work item type Task doesn’t have the attribute, aka the attribute doesn’t exist for the Task work item types, so is excluded when the query included the “Exists” clause.
