Pulling tasks based on assignee that is a member of a team

[Kelly Goodrich]

I'm wanting to pull all tasks from a team into a board/plan to determine outlook on work moving forward. Does the team field need to be populated for each task or is there a way to filter tasks based on the assignee field and attribute them to the team they belong to?

ex- I want to automatically pull all tasks from 5 teams. The assignee field is known and the teams are created. The teams field is not filled out on each task.

Hi @Kelly Goodrich ,

You cant Set the automation like that

When issue is created/updated

If assignee = ABC, BCD, CEF

Then set Team = Team A

It will be suitable for the requirement.

Hello @Kelly Goodrich 

The ideal solution would be to use the membersOf() function thus:

assignee in membersOf(TeamName)

Unfortunately that is not currently supported. Here is the change request for that.

If you want to pull all the issues "assigned" to a Team, your best option currently is to populate the Team field in each issue and use a JQL that searches for issues based on the Team field.

You could potentially automate setting the Team field based on the user in the Assignee field. However, a user can belong to more than one Team, so complications arise if you run into that case.
