how do I exclude specific users from the assignee field in an advanced search?

Cloudhouse Support September 10, 2014

I am trying to exclude specific users as part of an advanced search filter by using the following;

 assignee != "<user name>"

But that user keeps appearing in the resulting search - as do all the others I have tried to exclude.

Alternatively, I have tried to use

assignee = "unassigned"

Again, this seems to have no affect as all user keep appearing tin the resulting search.

To exclude a specific user this worked for me:

assignee != <add_user_id_here> OR assignee in (EMPTY)

Try to use
assignee in membersOf(jira-users) AND assignee not in (username1, username2)

or just
assignee not in (username1, username2)

HI, 

I tried to exclude one team member, but the filter also exclude un 'Unassigned' tasks. 

Any idea ? 

 

Thank you.
