Add a check in a filter so that it only returns a result if I am the logged on user

Question

I have a test sandbox that I use for learning JIRA. Our swimlanes are based on filters. It would be cool if I could add a clause in the swimlane filter so that the sandbox items only show up for me.

So a filter like

swimlanename = Sandbox AND user = ME

Thanks.

If you want the swimlane to be specific to the logged in user the add “…and assignee = currentuser()…”

if you want the swimlane to be only for a specific user then add “…and assignee = xxxx-user…”. Where xxx-user is the specific user of interest.

Hi @James.Marchant ,

You can't actually do that per se. What you can do is to filter your result by setting a project role (or custom field) to be the user who runs the filter. Something similar to:

assignee = currentUser() or reporter = currentUser()

HOpe that helps :)
