How to I use controller widget selected users in a advanced query?

[Ravi Babu dasari]

Hi, I am trying to selected users in controller widget so that I could see the parent issues for these users who have at least one task in that story.

query:

Sprint in (openSprints(), futureSprints()) AND status not in (COMPLETED, ACCEPTED) AND issueFunction in parentsOf("assignee in (<username> ) ") ORDER BY summary ASC

So instead of using hardcoded user name in the above query or using currentUser(), how could I use the controller widget assignee dropdown selected options? Is there a function to get it here?

Hello @Ravi Babu dasari 

I'm not familiar with the "controller widget". Can you tell us what third party app you installed that added that functionality?

Thanks for the reply.  I am talking about below widget. First is view mode and the second screenshot is edit mode of that widget. I think it is a stock widget by jira! Not 100% sure though.

Hello @Ravi Babu dasari 

That is not native Jira Cloud functionality. It is provided by a third party app:

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1214789/rich-filters-for-jira-dashboards?tab=overview&hosting=cloud

You can find their documentation here:

https://wiki.qotilabs.com/rich-filters-cloud

I recommend you start by reviewing that documentation to see what is possible, and consider submitting a support request to that vendor for additional help. The link for submitting a support request can be found on their Marketplace page:

I have raised a different support ticket for this - https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Marketplace-Apps-Integrations/How-to-I-use-controller-widget-selected-users-in-an-advanced/qaq-p/2148241#M96344

To be clear, what you did was open a question in another community. That is not the same as opening a support request with the vendor.

To open a support ticket with the vendor you need to go to their support portal.

The link is on the Support tab of their Marketplace page
