Is there a way that I can create a filter that just has users names to use in other filters?

Cash Coyne_tanpr0

I know that I can do something like this:

Approver in (Jsmith,BJones,TBarton)

But I want to be able to have a filter with those userids in a variable or filter, like with the name "Team Members" where I can say something like this:

Approver in TeamMembers or Validator in TeamMembers or Assignee in TeamMembers

 

Just trying to not have to have to repeat all the names in multiple places

 

And preferably a solution that doesn't require JIRA admin privileges, just project admin (it makes life easier that way ), 

Any suggestions?

 

TIA

Hi @Cash Coyne 

The dynamic option is to use Groups - but it does require Jira Admin...

• Create a Group, and add all relevant users to it
• Give the Group a unique name (eg. team-1)
• Then in JQL - you can use membersof(" ") - for example...

assignee in membersof("team-1")

The non-Admin option is to create filters you can re-use in other queries - but it would need to be one filter per user picker field.

So for example...

• Create a search... 

assignee in (user-1, user-2, user-3)

• Save as a filter
• Copy the filter ID from the URL - eg. filter=10123
• Use the filter in other assignee-based searches - for example, to find all issues assigned to users 1-3, which are Done, you might use...

filter = 10123 AND status = Done

You'd then need to create a filter for reporter, approver, validator, etc

Let us know if either of these work for you!
