Top N ranked issues per reporter

[Steven Waltman]

We are telling our reporters to Rank their own issues. For this we use the standard Rank functionality in a board filtered on their own issues. I would like to create an overview of the Top 5 issues per reporter, based on Rank.

Sorting by Rank is not an issue, but I cant seem to find a way to Limit results, let alone per reporter. 

Any suggestions?

I was considering setting up a secondary field + workflow which would hold a Rank (int) value based on the COUNT(issues with a numerical lower rank) +1 
I cant find a way to filter issues based on rank against the rank of the to be updated issue.

You should look into JIRA connect to do this via the REST interface.

Thanks Randy for your response. I was looking some option where I can directly open JIRA page and i got partial achievement using below URL. 

https://xyz.com/jira/secure/CreateIssueDetails!init.jspa?pid=10000&issuetype=10004&priority=1&customfield_10413=10152&customfield_10512=10334&customfield_10408=10332&summary=Thisisnewbug1&description=Thisisbugdescription1 

But this only works if browser is having active session otherwise it gets directed on login screen.

You shouldnt be integrating in that way because there's no guarantee that Atlassian will maintain that architecture going forward; every potential change to those pages on the Atlassian side will break your app.

You should be using JIRA connect and REST instead.
