Refer to list of assignees?

[borge.haga@ciber.no]

With team changing participants at regular intervals it's a pain when many of my filters need to refer to the frequently updated list of participants in team.

Is it possible to somehow define a list of team members and then refer to that list in JQL searches instead of listing everybody for each filter?

E.g.

assignee not in (doc,grumpy,happy,sleepy,bashful,sneezy,dopey)

...vs...

assignee not in (team1)

Defined list:
team1:doc,grumpy,happy,sleepy,bashful,sneezy,dopey

In that way filters could stay as they are, and all I need to do is to maintain the defined list.

Have you considered setting up a group and simply manage the group user administration. Your filter can refer to the group

[borge.haga@ciber.no]

assignee IN membersOf("team1")

Where team1 is a defined group solved it.
Thanks!
