Github Graphql Filter issues which has multiple labels

Question

This query returns those issues which has either label1 or label2. Basically, It returns all the issues of label1 and label2.

{
  repository(owner: "another-user", name: "another-repo") {
    issues(first: 100, filterBy: { labels:  ["label1", "label2"}"] }) {
      nodes {
        title
        body
        bodyHTML
        bodyText
        number
        labels(first: 100) {
          nodes {
            color
            name
            id
          }
        }
        author {
          url
          avatarUrl
          login
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

I was trying to find a specific issue which have both label1 and label2 labels. How can I execute AND operation?

It's not possible to do with the graphql API other than by returning all the issues with those labels then filtering client side (docs https://docs.github.com/en/graphql/reference/input-objects#issuefilters).

You can do it with the search API instead though https://docs.github.com/en/rest/reference/search#search-issues-and-pull-requests.

Haven't tested but I think something like this should do the job

q=label:label1+label:label2+repo:another-user/another-repo
