The JIRA documentation addresses the subject of assigning issues to multiple users as part of the usage FAQ: https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/1QpeD

The short answer of course still is "You can't", but maybe one of the options provided in the link above is what you are actually looking for.

You can't.

The assignee field holds a single user.

Jira does not do assign-to-group or assign-to-multiple-users. Doesn't matter if you're using the CLI or some other trick, Jira simply doesn't have the structure to hold more than one user in the assignee field.

The whole idea of an assignee is someone is responsible for working the issue. In reality, a group can't be. That is just how people are. The best you can do is create an ID with a distribution list email address so when the issue is assigned to that ID everyone on the distribution list is notified. You'll still need a group lead to be responsible to make sure the issues are being worked and when management wants to know why it wasn't they will all say 'I thought ..... was working it' No accountablility.

Hi Kailash,

apparantly Atlassian's documentation wiki is having some problems at the moment, I can't access it myself right now (although it partly loaded after several refreshes).

The link I posted was just the tiny link for https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/How+do+I+assign+issues+to+multiple+users

Just give it some time and then try again, I'm sure they will be back online soon :-)

Take care

Steffen

Thanks Steffen!

I am planing to use "Managing Issues via a Queue" by doing below two setting

Configure your JIRA project to allow the 'default assignee' to be 'Unassigned' (see Defining a Project).
Ensure that 'Allow unassigned issues' is set to ON in your General Configuration settings (Administration > Global Settings > General Configuration

My Query

After doing above these two setting can i assign "multiple user" by giving comma seprated value in column "Assigne" in my .csv file ? or there is any duffrent way to give mutliple user id in .csv column.

Note::

Assigne: This column currently i am using for to import data by giving mail id of single user in my .csv file.

Once again thanks for your support

Separate the column into many columns so you have 1 column per "assigne" in your CSV. Then map each column to your "assigne" field in Jira, repeatedly

Thanks Nic !!

So you mean to say my .csv file consisit following column

CSv file columns::

Action
Type
Project
Objective
Component
Assignee 1
Assignee 2
Assignee 3
Assignee 4
Assignee 5
Labels

And Property file having follwoing field::

field.Type = Type

field.Component = Components
field.Objective = Summary
field.project = Project
field.Label = Labels
field.Assignee = Assignee

Please correct me if i am missing any point

PLEASE READ THE ANSWERS YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN ALREADY

Sorry to be so shouty, but you really are starting to get annoying because you are not reading people's replies.

You have been told you can not do this several times. Asking again is NOT going to change that situation.

You need to be reading the answers you are given, and then looking at the advice on how to handle multiple assignees.
