Support for user groups/lists in JQL queries

Question

Hi,

I would like to reuse the same list of users across multiple stored filters. Is that possible in JIRA?

e.g filter one: assignee was in ( name1, name2, name2) and ...

filter two: assignee in ( name1, name2, name2) and ...

I would like to update user list only in one place, naturally.

Thanks,

Oleg

Oh yes, WAS IN wouldn't work with this. Didn't notice that part!

Yep, we are using "assignee in ( name1, name2, name2)" as a filter, the problem is that there is not way to build "assignee WAS in" request from it.

I understand that

filter != "Filter Name"

Address the current state of JIRA and not the past assignees

Define a filter as assignee in ( name1, name2, name2). Then use that filter in the other filters.

filter = "Filter Name"

or

filter != "Filter Name"
