Filters work as AND operators, not OR. Your example will produce nothing because both status conditions cannot be true at the same time.

There should be ability to select multiple statuses. Added to `ideas`.

Having the ability to combine search terms using “and” as well as “or” would be a generally useful addition to Manager

This has been implemented in the latest version (24.3.26)

But rather than select multiple statuses, you will need to use operator `is not` so you can exclude multiple statuses at once.
