jq - Filtering JSON array if does not contains not working
Your query seems a bit overcomplicated for such a trivial task (I didn't debug but you're probably misusing contains there; I suspect it's run for each array element, not just once for the array itself).
Anyways, here is a clean and straightforward approach:
.[] | select(.labels | index("To Do") | not) | "\(.id) -- \(.title) -- \(.labels)"And avoid UUOC btw.
