Show the Sub-Tasks to a User who is a member of the group assigned?

Hello,

Let's say I have an Issue with 30 Sub-Tasks, which assigned to 10 user groups.

So there are 3 Sub-Tasks for each user group.

If a user is a member of only one group, he goes to the issue and must read all 30 to find 3, which he has to do.

Is there a way, to show him only the Sub-Tasks, which assigned to his group?

Regards

Leo

if a user wants to see only those assigned to him/her then why not simply look at my open issues or create a filter. Now if they need to see all issue assigned to the group then maybe...

project = myproject and assignee in membersOf("mygroup")

Hell @Jack Brickey 

Thanks a lot!

I did not think of it. It seems to be the easiest way, if "mygroup" does work for that.

The only problem:

At "My Open Issues" I see the sub-tasks for me to do, but do not see, to which issues they belong to.

Let's say I see

1. create ADS Account

2. create ADS Account

3. create ADS Account

 

But I do not see the Issue Subject like this:

1. create ADS Account. New Employee John

2. create ADS Account. New Employee Mary

3. create ADS Account. New Employee Cat

 

Can I solve this somehow?

And one more question:

I just tried to assign an sub-task to a group.

It seems to be impossible in a standard project in our standard JIRA configuration. :(

Is there a way to do so?

I've just found:
"You can't assign an issue to a group. You can create a mail group and then assign the issue to the user that uses that mail group address but other than that it is not possible to assign an issue to a jira group. "

So the question would be:

How can I make a group let's say "responsible" for a task, so that a user in this group can easy find all the taskt he is "responsible" for?

I would suggest creating a custom field called maybe "team" that is of type single select. add the various teams to the list and when they issues are created select the team. However, the Assignee must be associated to a single user account in Jira. Now if you wanted to you could create user accounts that equate to teams, e.g. team1@mycompany.com, team2@mycompany.com etc. Further these could equate to distribution lists that your IT group sets up or uses forwarding rules.

you might also find this article of interest - Managing-Assignee-when-you-do-Pair-Programming . While you likely are dealing w/ paired programming here the underlying context of assigning issues to more than one user applies.
