Currently, JIRA applies an AND condition, so if I select two assignees, results only show if they are both assigned, which can't happen because an issue can only be assigned to one person. If I select two or more assignees, I want to see results for all selected assignees (OR instead of AND). Is there a way to do this in JQL?

If 2 Assignees are selected on board Quick Filters I want it to display results for either Assignee1 OR Assignee2

The quick-filters can't do it, as you say, they're AND

But the JQL is a doddle for a single filter - "assignee in (human1, human2, human7)".

Thanks for your response, @Nic. If I understand your recommendation, I would have to create a separate filter for every possible combination.

For example, if there are 7 assignees on the team but I want to see the issues assigned to three of them, I would have to create a filter for that specific scenario. If I wanted to display several others, I would have to have a quick filter set for that specific scenario.

If that's the case, then my fears are confirmed.

Yes, you have understood my (dodgy) prose perfectly.

The other option I use sometimes is to shift the problem elsewhere - base the JQL on the assignees membership of a role or group. But that's still a long way off ideal for what you need.

Thanks, Nic. It's nice to consider other alternatives. I greatly appreciate the time you've saved me with your feedback.
