Hi everyone, I am configuring a Custom Field in Jira Service Management (Data Center) powered by Assets (Insight). I have a simple Object Type with an attribute named GruppiAbilitati. * Attribute Name: GruppiAbilitati * Type: User/Group (Configured to hold Jira Groups, not Users). The Goal: I want to filter the objects in the "Filter Issue Scope" so that the user sees only the objects where the GruppiAbilitati attribute contains a group that the Current Logged-in User belongs to. Current Status: * If I use the Reporter, this works perfectly: SQL"GruppiAbilitati" HAVING user (${reporter}) * If I try to use the Current User, I get a syntax error: SQL"GruppiAbilitati" HAVING user (currentUser()) Error: extraneous input '(' expecting {')', ',', ' '}. It seems the parser does not accept a function inside the user() function. My Question: What is the correct AQL syntax to check if the Current User is a member of the group(s) listed in the GruppiAbilitati attribute? I have tried "GruppiAbilitati" IN connectedUserGroups() but I am not sure if this is the correct way to match a "Group" attribute against the user's group list. Any suggestions for currentUser() group filtering on a direct Group attribute? Thanks!

AQL Filter Issue Scope: Filtering "Group" type attribute by currentUser() membership

Hi everyone,

I am configuring a Custom Field in Jira Service Management (Data Center) powered by Assets (Insight). I have a simple Object Type with an attribute named GruppiAbilitati.

Attribute Name: GruppiAbilitati
Type: User/Group (Configured to hold Jira Groups, not Users).

The Goal: I want to filter the objects in the "Filter Issue Scope" so that the user sees only the objects where the GruppiAbilitati attribute contains a group that the Current Logged-in User belongs to.

Current Status:

If I use the Reporter, this works perfectly:

SQL

"GruppiAbilitati" <span>HAVING</span> <span>user</span>(${reporter})

If I try to use the Current User, I get a syntax error:
SQL
```
"GruppiAbilitati" <span>HAVING</span> <span>user</span>(currentUser())
```
Error: extraneous input '(' expecting {')', ',', ' '}. It seems the parser does not accept a function inside the user() function.

My Question: What is the correct AQL syntax to check if the Current User is a member of the group(s) listed in the GruppiAbilitati attribute?

I have tried "GruppiAbilitati" IN connectedUserGroups() but I am not sure if this is the correct way to match a "Group" attribute against the user's group list.

Any suggestions for currentUser() group filtering on a direct Group attribute?

Thanks!

Hi @Alessandro Scala

welcome to the community and thank you for your question. According to the documentation Marc provide you have a syntax error. It should be:

"GruppiAbilitati" having user("currentReporter()")

Let me know if this helps.

HI @Alessandro Scala

Welcome to the community.

You can only use the currentUser() with a user attribute, not a group attribute

Also see https://support.atlassian.com/assets/docs/use-assets-query-language-aql/

Hi @Kai Becker

The doc also states, this can only be done if the attribute is of type user, it can't be done if the attribute type is group.

Hi @Kai Becker

The solution worked using "GruppiAbilitati" HAVING user("currentUser()").

Thank you very much

Kai Becker

@Marc -Devoteam- there are two versions:

user in group
group having user

The first one needs a user object, the second a group:
