Hey everyone,
We’re excited to announce that we will soon be rolling out filtering for the User Picker (multiple users) custom field in Jira. Related request: JRACLOUD-40963
This means you will be able to filter which users are allowed values of a User Picker (multiple users) custom field, by adding Groups and/or Project Roles to the filter. This is the same as how you configure filters for the User Picker (single user) custom fields.
We have also added validation that prevents the User Picker (multiple users) custom field from being saved if the user is no longer inactive.
N.B. This change reflects validation in User Picker (single users) custom fields.
This may be a problem when the default value of your User Picker (multiple users) custom field is set to an inactive user. As a result, you won’t be able to create an issue without changing the value of the field to an active user.
We recommend that you check your User Picker (multiple users) custom fields now, so that once this functionality is available, there is no disruption to issue creation.
To locate default value configuration of User Picker (multiple users) custom fields:
Navigate to ⚙️ > Issues > Custom fields > [locate your User Picker (multiple users) custom field] > … > Contexts and default value > Default value. Check that your default value is not set to an inactive user.
If the default value is set as an inactive user, either remove the default value, or update it to be an active user.
See below, for what it should look like:
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out,
