Hi All!

We closed this JAC ticket last year, as it is possible to make your own custom filter to see the unassigned tickets. I'm updating this now, as we released a change earlier this week, that enables you to filter on unassigned tickets as part of the user filter at the top of the backlog and board in TMP projects (just like you can in CMP projects). This feature is now rolled out to everyone except for those on Release Tracks who will get the change soon. 

Thanks for your patience here.
