Need user-picker filter that returns issues where the user is either the Assignee, Reviewer or QA

Jose Manuel Fernandez_ao29jy

Hi there,

We have currently the Assignee filter in our projects that returns the issues where the team member selected is the "Assignee" of the issue. We want to extend that in such a way that once we select this team member, we obtain the issues where he/she is either the Assignee, the Reviewer (custom field), or the QA responsible (custom field).

I've tried to look for this creating quick filters, but unfortunatelly I couldn't find anything.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance!

Hello @Jose Manuel Fernandez

Welcome to the community.

Are you working with a Company Managed project or a Team Managed project? It will say at the bottom of the navigation pane on the left. Custom Quick Filters are available only in Company Managed project boards.

The basic construct of the JQL would be

assignee=<user> or reviewer=<user> or qa=<user>

Natively Jira doesn't let you fill in a blank on Quick Filters, so you would have to construct an explicit Quick Filter for each user for which you might want to run the filter. There is not an option to extend the built-in Assignee filtering to make it include addition issues beyond the issues to which the person is assigned.

There might be third party apps that would enable filling in the blank on a quick filter. I haven't had a need to search for such before.

Hi Jose - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

You can use this for the filter: project = ABC and assignee=currentUser() or reviewer=currentUser() or qa=currentUser()

Or if using in a quick filter, then just: assignee=currentUser() or reviewer=currentUser() or qa=currentUser()

Thank you for your answer @Trudy P Claspill. I am working on a Company Managed project. Yes, I have access to quick filters.

I created that quick filter, but I'd like to make it not only for the currentUser (which is whoever is logged in in Jira right?) but somehow make it similar to the Assignee filter.

This is useful for the team when we are doing Standups, going user by user seeing where they are involved in any part of the lifecycle of the issue (either assignee, reviewer, or QA).

Thanks for your reply!

You won't be able to do that with the avatar/picture, but you could create a separate quick filter for each person.

Thank you @John Funk .. do you know if it's possible to create a quick filter in a way of Dropdown (instead of having a quick filter per Name in a rectangular shape) or any other widget that would consume less space in the filters section?

John Funk

The more quick filters you add, then eventually they will appear in a dropdown and not just keep being buttons on the screen.

There is a change request in Atlassian's backlog about being able to have quick filters where the fields specified in them will present as selection lists for picking the value to be used.

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-4735

Beyond that, as @John Funk said, you will have to construct a quick filter for each person whom you would want to be able to select.
