I'd like to find issues I was previously assigned

[Tom Youngblom]

as a novice user, I'm trying to get a summary of issues that were assigned to me anytime, or that I commented.

I currently can only query current data.  if I was previously assigned a ticket the results cannot be found.  What other criteria or keywords do I use.

Hi @Tom Youngblom

Welcome to the Community! For tickets where you were assigned you can try:

assignee was currentUser()

To query the issues where you commented, you'll need a plugin. E.g with Scriptrunner,  you can use :

 commentedBy = <insert user account ID>,

where your account ID is the string  at the end of the URL after you select your user under: http://<your instance>.atlassian.net/people

Thanks, that is it!

Welcome to the community.  Don't forget that at any given time, an issue can be only assigned to one user.  So, if you are not the current assignee of the issue, then the above query will not work.

There are other options that one can do - Example: using custom field to store the previous assignee + automation rule (issue assigned event).  Afterward, you can use the custom field in your JQL search to find issues which it was previously assigned to you but they are assigned to someone else currently.

Hope this also helps.

Hi @Tom Youngblom welcome to the community.  Could you put an example of your JQL here?  If I'm assigned to a ticket, then you should be able to add "assignee = Tom Youngblom" and it should work.  That's basically the JQL I would use.

If that's not working, if you could give us more information, it would be great.  Thanks,
