 Description  « Hide
I realize that there is capabilities of selecting a group of people (by group name), but it would be really nice to provice a comma delimited list of usersnames to filter on (as these usernames are they are not in the same group)

Thanks!

That would be a nice feature, because with having more than 200 users the filter by group results in a mass of groups to get filters by more than one assignee, reporter, etc.

Thomas Schreiner added a comment - 27/Sep/05 08:05 AM
I second that! It would be extremly helpful to have this feature.

This is huge. I am really surprised you can't do something like this. Is there at least a way to build complex searches using the API?

Nick Menere [Atlassian] added a comment - 12/Jan/06 10:23 PM
Daniel,

It is possible to do this programatically. Is this what you were asking? For an example of searching for maultiple values, you can check out the source of the Multi Isuue Key Searcher in the Jira-Toolkit.

Cheers,
Nick


Sulka Haro added a comment - 03/Feb/06 04:37 AM
Seconded. I've gotten quite a few questions from for example project tech leads who'd like to create just one filter which finds all issues assigned to just the java programmers in the project.

Martin Stangenberg added a comment - 13/Feb/06 06:12 AM
I agree with all what was said above. This feature is extremely important!
Actually I do not want to administrate numbers of different user groups just to be able to query for a special group of persons.

This is becoming a show-stopper for my implementation. Given that it has so many votes why is it still considered trivial? Is there anyway we could bump this up?

Anton Mazkovoi [Atlassian] added a comment - 05/Apr/06 09:49 PM
Susan,

We have issues with many more votes taht this one:
http://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA?report=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.project:popularissues-panel
and unfortunately have not found the time to implement them yet.

For more information on the way Atlassian schedules new features please see:

Thanks,
Anton

This is a feature that is really important to us as well.

koonaghalla added a comment - 22/May/06 08:03 AM
yes, please, this is substantial and more than just 'trivial' :-/

Cherly Diaz added a comment - 30/May/06 02:12 PM
Our company is transitioning from Bugzilla to Jira. Bugzilla has the ability to search for multiple users for the "Assign To" and "Reporter" fields. Implementing this feature would ease this transition for bugzilla users.

Neal Applebaum added a comment - 22/Sep/06 07:32 AM
One solution to this would be to allow "personal" groups, in addition to "system" groups. Kinda like Outlook's distribution lists. That way, users could create personal groups and use them for all sorts of filters. I'll enter an improvement request for that and link to this issue.

Alex Holtz added a comment - 25/Oct/06 01:15 PM
We're in the process of converting from Bugzilla to Jira as well and just ran into this exact problem within the first week of moving one of our projects over.

Definitely a very important feature from our perspective as well.


Alessandro added a comment - 10/May/07 07:30 AM
Is this features implemented ? Or is still impossible to search for mulple users ?

Jiji Cherian added a comment - 25/May/07 12:22 AM
I would also recommend to implement such an option in JIRA..

Doug Doucet added a comment - 04/Oct/07 04:34 PM
I don't think this should be incorporated by JRA-11165. Being able to create personal groups and base filters on them would be a nice addition to Jira, but you shouldn't have to create a new group every time you want to filter on a new set of users.

Alex Matviychuk added a comment - 13/Dec/07 02:58 PM
I don't think this issue should be marked trivial. It would save our organization quite a bit of hassle in group management.

Anton Mazkovoi [Atlassian] added a comment - 13/Dec/07 10:42 PM
Alex,

I have changed the priority on this issue. I think this issue will be looked at when we implement more flexible searching - JRA-1560, which we hope to do in one of the upcoming JIRA releases.

just added my vote and i think this is a duplicate to JRA-10492 and hence (s)could be closed

also: i would like to see this earlier than the improved filtering as i think that will be much more work and hence take longer than to support a somehow delimited list of users/groups which IMHO should not take more than a couple days to impl.

IMPLSUGGESTION
i would also like to allow mixed selection of groups and users which i dont think to be a large problem as users are members of groups.

the popup to select users/groups could be made switchable between users or groups. users and groups are displayed with check boxes and u add them to ur selection with a button as with shopping carts in e-shops. in case u are selecting groups and users u would have to resolve the groups into the respective users.
the query then just needs a where expression with assigned_to/reportedby_user_id = IN (2, 23, 24, ...)
