Currently, that’s not possible, but it has been discussed elsewhere:

### Description If you try to add any filter to NOT show issues with a particul…ar label it also filters out all issues that have no label set. Expected behavior would be to show also issues without any label set and only filter out issues with specified label in the filter. How to reproduce on the demo site: - go to Inbox project - edit List view and add '&& labels != Personal' to the filter - all issues without label set will disappear ### Vikunja Version 0.24 ### Browser and version _No response_ ### Can you reproduce the bug on the Vikunja demo site? Yes ### Screenshots _No response_
