I had something in mind like: currentUser() in (assignee, reporter, watchers) maybe someone knows of a plugin providing that kind of search... Of course I could write assignee = currentUser() OR reporter = currentUser() OR watcher = currentUser(), but that is rather long.

Is the a plugin for shorter JQLs to search for users in userfields?

Custom Field [Label] where is EMPTY is Returning All Issues

We are using JIRA next-gen and have added a custom field (called Affected version) for defects. The problem is, when I query for records without a value, it returns ALL the issues!

The query is simple: project = "CC" AND Type = Defect AND "Affected Version[Labels]" is EMPTY ORDER BY created DESC

I've done this many times in JIRA Server, so I'm very confused. Why is it doing this?

I haven't run across anything like this, but if you have a set list of fields that the currenUser() would check against, then you can save that into a filter and just reference the filter.

aka save "assignee = currentUser() OR reporter = currentUser() OR watcher = currentUser()" into a filter. Future JQL searches can simply reference the filter.
