How can i use ~ keyword to assignee field?

Question

Hi, How to filter the defects assigned to a particular member in a team? For example: After the defect raised in Jira, it has assigned to a common group in the company. Once after assigning that defect to a particular person ( , i.e. XYZ (IBM) ) in that company. I need to filter out (i.e.filter Assignee) all the defects assigned to the team members irrespective of status (i.e. CLOSED, OPEN etc.). I have tried to use LIKE keyword to the field Assignee. But JQL is not supporting any keywords to the field (Assignee). Please suggest me the keywords to use with the field Assignee to filter all the defects assigned to my team (note: we have not created group names to the team). Thanks Sudarsan I

If the team size is big, we can't give all team member names individually in the field Assignee. That will become a complex query. So, is there any way to search with a company name in the field Assignee?

For Assignee field, you can search directly using

assignee = 'sudarsan'

You don't need to use ~ keyword. Also, note that issues are assigned to users and not to groups. Hence, you can directly filter on them as shown above without the use of ~ operator.
