Custom Filter in Team Managed that filters to work items assigned to only users in a "Team"?

Question

We have defined some "Teams" in the Team feature. What's the best way to filter to only work assigned to users in the respective teams? i tried to just filter by team and that displays nothing. Is it assignee =?

Would you like to debug the problem with filtering on the Teams field? If so, could you provide:

* a screen image showing an issue where the Team field has been set
* a screen image showing the Team field added to the configuration/layout for that type of issue
* the actual filter you are trying to use.

Thanks! I did add the Teams field and we had at least one team value. But it did nothing to create a custom filter with that team.

In the end I just added a label for the team. And any time a work item is assigned to someone on the team there is an automation to add the label. Then we can just use the label filter.

Hello @Kelly Lillis

Have you added the Team field to the issues and set the value for that field in the issues? You will have to do that in order to be able to filter for issues based on the Team.

It is not currently possible to filter for issues based on a user being a member of a Team.

i.e. You can filter for issues assigned to members of a user group:

assignee in membersOf(<group name>)

But it is not possible to put a Team Name into that filter. Instead you have to add the Team field to each issue and set that field. Then you can filter for issues based on the value in the Team field.
