Additional Assignee Work Page and Reporting

Question

Hello.

My questions is in regards to viewing tasks where I am an additional assignee either/and my Work Page, my Assigned to me dropdowns, and on my dashboard.

I am a new hire at my company, and as a result am listed as an additional assignee on many tasks. I would like to see all the tasks I'm an additional assignee in 1 place.

Is this possible, and if so how?

Thank you, this isn't exactly what I did but I followed the general advice listed here and it worked. I used the following formula assignee in (currentUser()) OR "Additional Assignees[People]" in (currentUser()) order by created DESC

Hi Julian - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

There's no built-in concept of "additional" assignees in Jira. An issue is assigned to one and only one person. You should need to an additional custom field to capture persons besides the Assignee.

Hello @Julian Keefe Welcome to the community. It is not possible to customize the My Work Page currently. The Assigned To Me list is based strictly on the Assignee field and you can't change the built-in Assigned To Me displays in Jira to include other criteria. You could create your own Filter to query for the issues where you are an "additional assignee". We can't tell you the exact syntax to use without knowing how your company has implemented that "additional assignees" option. If it is just a single or multiple user picker field then you could do something like this: in That should give you all issues where your name appears in that field. If you want to combine that with the issues where you are the singular Assignee you would do this: in OR Assignee = You could save that filter and rerun it whenever you want. You could create a custom Dashboard and add a Filter Results gadget to it that is configured to display the results of your saved filter.
