How to create smart filter that can look at several user-picker fields

Question

I am using Rich Filter for Jira dashboards, which means I have a controller gadget where I can further filter the dashboard.

I have several user-picker fields (developer, functional consultant) that a user can be assigned to.

I want to be able to pick a user on the controller gadget and have it find all the issues where a selected user is any of the user-picker fields.

I'm thinking this is a smart filter, but I'm not sure what the JCL would be to say user to be selected is = fielda or fieldb or fieldc etc.

Hi, Melo,  Thanks for the response.

I do use that method for a dashboard where it's for the current user (like a MY dashboard) and it works great.

In this case I want to be able to filter on a particular user.

For example, I have a technical resource john.doe and on some issues he's the assignee, some issues he is the developer (a custom user picker field) and some issues he is the subject matter expert (another custom user picker field).  I want to pull all issues where this person is any of those things and have it on my rich filter controller gadget.

Hi @Angie Affolter, Indeed I also think as smart field should help, for the JQL something like: Developer = currentUser() OR "Functional Consultant" = currentUser() OR Tester = currentUser()

You can also use the name of the user instead of currentUser().

I hope it helps.

Cheers,
