My scenario:
A team of developers. Once a developer fixes a defect, he passes it back to QE for Re-Test. By then the assignee changes from Dev to QE resource.  I want to create a simple kanban board with the following columns:

To-Do | In Progress | Done - in Re-test | Done - other

In each swimlane I want to see defects that a given developer has assigned, but also the ones that he had assigned before handing the defect back to QE.

My board query is based on a filter of assignee user ids and then swimlanes are based on assignees. This nicely populates the first two columns, but will obviously not populate the latter two.  Is there a magical solution other than hand-coding every swim-lane for each developer?

Hi @Witold Dziewałtowski-Gintowt, welcome to the Atlassian Community!

You could achieve this by using JQL-based swimlines. With this, you can set a query like this:

assignee = userName OR assignee WAS userName 

The downside is that you would need to create queries for each user.
