Hi All,

First of all, thanks for reporting this and for explaining how you use Security Category filters.

We understand these filters are no longer returning meaningful results in Community Build. Rather than keep filters that do not work as expected, we’re removing them from that edition. Filtering by Security Category is available in SonarQube Developer Edition and above.

We know this is not the outcome you were hoping for, especially if you had used these filters before. We appreciate you raising it and helping us make the behavior clearer.

Thanks,
Victor
