How to search all issue a user is part of

Question

Hi,

we have a number of projects with various issue types, where each can have one or more "people fields (not restricted to a single user) I want to see all the issues a team member is involved in. I don't see any good options to search for that. I can search for assignee, reporter, and such, but not for custom people fields. I'm sure it's possible to do this using JQL?

Another option would be to automatically add everyone assigned to any of the people fields as a watcher and then search for watchers.

Glad I could help.

My environment has the Jira Software product installed, which includes the Jira Work Management project. If you have only the Jira Work Management project there may be some differences in the screens.

Hi,

apologies for the slow response. Actually, I did the same, filters --> all issues. It just looks a bit different in my case (unless there are multiple filter menu tabs).

When I use the basis search under "more+" I don't see a "reviewer" field. I just noticed in your screenshot it shows as "+more" but in my screenshot it's "more+". So maybe we are looking at different things. I'm using Jira work management btw, not Jira software (in case that is the difference).

However, when I use the JQL search bar, "reviewer" does show up (when I start typing it shows up as suggestion) so I can use that. Problem solved. Thanks. I do have a different issue though, which I should probably ask in a new thread.

Thanks for the fast and responses, it definitely helped

Hello @Marinus Pennings

The screen image below shows how I got to the Search screen. It looks to me like what you did was select a specific filter to view rather than going to the Search screen.
