Description
Hi,
I can currently set quite complex filters on the issue list with redmine.
The only problem is that the filters have a default behavior of logical "AND" between them and I can't set it to "OR"/other logical operators.

It would add too much complexity to the model. I don't see any known website that offers such a possibility. Any other opinion about that ?

+1 for this issue.
Many of the other issue tracking systems do actually allow this, including:- Jira
- Trac
- BugTracker.net
I was going to try fogbugz, but I couldn't find a totally open demo install. I don't mind trying other alternatives too, but wasn't sure which others were large enough or had open demos. I just went through the list of other sites we looked at before using Redmine.
Jira and BugTracker.net both allow you to use 'OR' basically by allowing multiple selections. They either use a listbox or other method for you to choose more than one option.
Trac on the other hand has another field that allows you to say if its an 'or' or 'and' comparison.
This shouldn't change any models too much, all you would be doing is letting the user build more of the query that they are already making.

We would really like this feature because then you could do queries like 'I want to see all issues I am assigned to and watching'.

Could someone remove comment #2? I forgot the redmine.org installation didn't let you edit your comments.

I'd like such options, too ... at least I would appreciate to have list based fields (i.e. status, category, priority, versions) to have multiple selection lists (OR connected) ... i.e. [Status = New OR Assigned]
On the other hand it would be nice if I could set more than one filter on a text field - i.e. [Subject contains "tracker"] AND [Subject contains "field"]. That would allow more detailled searches in long ticket lists.
A more revolutionary approach: Give two ways of definig filters. The current way and a formula based one. In the formula based filter there could be a text field for a search formula like [subject~"tracker" and (status=assigned or status=new) and subject!~"project"] meaning "subject contains tracker but not project and status is assigned or new".

@Frank : you can have "multiple selection lists" since #1189 is closed.
Regarding them being used for queries, I don't know.
