Assignee filter doesn't have a the 'Unassigned' option to choose from - Will it be added?

We need it in order to see all the tasks that are yet to be assigned.

Hi Tal!

Earlier this week we added the ability to filter on unassigned tickets in Team Managed Projects on both the backlog and board using the user filter in the filter toolbar. This capability is now rolled out to everyone except for those on Release Tracks who will get the change soon. 

Thanks for your patience here!

Hi there, use assignee is EMPTY in JQL to find unassigned Issues.

I meant the filter on the next gen board / backlog, not the general search :)

Would like to know too.

On next-gen project I can filter Unassigned issues on the board but not on the backlog

You can create quick filter and use it on your backlog.
