Using group membership as a filter

Lionel Cassin October 15, 2013

1. I have a Group Custom Field called Custodians.

2. I want to create a filter that displays records only if the current user is a member of a group that is listed in Custodians.

3. For example, let's say user lcassin is a member of group Meanies. And "Meanies" is in the Group Custom field Custodians in several records. I'd like to have a filter that shows lcassin all those records.

Is this doable?

Thanks

LC

JQL Tricks plugin (commercial) has a groupsOfUser function. You can do something like this for current user.

Custodians in groupsOfUser()

You can also check it for groups of specific user.

Custodians in groupsOfUser("XYZ")
