Adding multiple assignee in a issue

[Theofani Samuel]

What is the simplest way to add multiple (at least 2 assignee) in one issue? Or automatically add a Reporter as an Assignee also so that we can see it in a grouped view.

Hi @Theofani Samuel Jira works always with only ONE assignee. This is due to clear responsiblity for the tasks.

If you need more assignees, the solution is to create subtasks automatically and assign these subtasks to single users.

Otherwise you can also create Multi user picker custom field, add it to the screen and update filters so the issues will be displayed to correct users. But you can't use built-in filters like 'Assigned to me', you need to build your own filters, dashboards...

Hi @Martin Bayer _MoroSystems_ s_r_o__ thank you for replying, appreciate it!

Ah, I see, so the subtask will workaround on that idea. Thank you very much!
