Filter out all the issues where specific users made changes

[Egle K.]

How could we make a filter that shows issues which were modified by specific user/s? By modified I mean all actions - e.g. transitioned issue, was assignee, commented, etc.

There is a feature request open for this, but it is not currently possible to do this as widely as you are looking for: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-15235

There are a few fields that have historical searches enabled, specifically 

• Assignee
• Fix Version
• Priority
• Reporter
• Resolution
• Status fields

For example:

status changed by user_name OR assignee was user_name

This will show all issues that were transitioned by that user, or ever assigned to that user. See Advanced Searching for more details - there are a lot of things you can do with JQL that aren't obvious out of the box.

If you have Scriptrunner installed, you can find issues commented by a given user

issueFunction in commented("by user_name")

Throw all of those together and you will get pretty close to  what you're looking for! Keep in mind that these are very slow queries, so always define a project in your query when you can, and focus on the information that you find most important.
