Is there a way to filter for issues with an old severity value of "blocker" ？

Hi team,

SonarQube-10.5
Docker

I would like to know how to filter for issues with an old severity value of “blocker”, as our team want to focus more on these issues. API or other way ？
Why was the issue severity changed？
Thanks！

However, many changes will be announced soon, and I expect the ability to filter on the old severities to return in the next release or two. Keep an eye out for more announcements on that.
