So they provide a workaround for a missing feature (compared to Cloud) and that's it.
Ok workaround noted but that isn't great as custom filters will always display even is no issue is assigned to a person.

The old Jira UI Board had assignee buttons, those disappeared in the new UI replaced by a cumbersome dropdown.  This is a major regression to me.  Since Atlassian moves slow, I'm trying to find a Chrome plugin script or even write a Selenium script + keyboard shortcut to compensate.

I know its a closed ticket but we've resolved the issue ourself

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/io.extensi.jira.plugin.agileboardfilter/server/overview

I see a lot of people asking for this issue to have higher priority, but no response from Atlassian. Is there a more efficient way to request enhancements, aside from commenting and voting on issues that have been sitting open for 2 years now? I'm new at the Atlassian knowledge base/feature request thing.

editted to add - just realized this was a duplicate. I'll visit the open one.

yes we need this feature! Best solution would be to allow the filters being dropdowns (e.g. for assignee, project etc). Thanks

We also need such a feature.

We liked the idea of using the new user icons that are at the top of the rapid board, which when selected give you a quick summary of how many points a teammember has. It would be nice to be able to right click on the icon to get the current high-level summary and left click to filter the board by work currently assigned to that team member.

Same here. During standups I need quickly move between the different team members's tasks.

I miss this feature too, as during standups we cant quickly move between the diferent team members's tasks.

Please give priority to this issue!

Another possible implementation could be to make swimlanes more dynamic.Quick-Swimlanes would be just as good for us.

I agree with the comments above that in enterprise environments with many (changing) teams, creating a separate filter for each assignee/component is a lot of overhead, does not look good at all and is tedious to keep up-to-date.

If we had a few dynamic filters, it wouldn't clog the filter-pane with dozens of different buttons and they would be self-updating.

Similar feature has been implemented for Swimlanes (Base swimlanes on Assignees), so why not extend it to Quick Filters and add at least the Component field. A more general solution that allows dynamic filters for all custom fields with a defined set of values would be more appreciated of course.

We're currently working around this by creating two boards...one with the traditional filters for the devs ("My Issues", "Issues I should test", "Issues I reported", etc.) and one with per-person filters for planning purpose. However, with 15 people, this was quite some work to set up; and I'm pretty sure 15 is more at the lower end of what GH serves.

The assignee feature is really important to see who is working on what.

Currently, i need to go back to classic board to check this.

Is there an ETA on this?

+ 1, the current set up is really clunky and unfriendly!

We'd also love to see this added!

BTW, this is not "MINOR" at all. It may not be critical, but it's pretty bad since the old boards had this feature and now it's been taken away.

Please consider this as a high priority. Using quick filters for this is very time consuming. When switching users, you need to deselect the previous users and with planning boards with lots of items this winds up taking a long time.

Having just the one dropdown assignee choice helps to ensure 1) the board doesn't get too cluttered and 2) team members other than the scrum master probably don't need thes different assignees and might prefer other filters.

I have to agree with Mark; and thats basically what my other story is about - a utility to determine work load during planning of a sprint (GHS-5104).
My latest attempts were to use a Quick Filter by Person, which partly failed on the order by clause (trying to sort the filtered view by something else than the Rank field which is used by the overall board) and partly on the fact that I'd need 30 filters in total (one for each team member).

I actually need something like this on the planning portion. My team sets up sprints keeping in mind the use loading. With the classic boards we would use the Jira Project "Version Workload Report" to show the remaining time for each user for that version. With the introduction of sprints this report is not useful for us in setting up a sprint. We need a way on the planning board to figure out how much load each user has before we start the sprint. Hopefully, you can work that in.

With Greenhopper v6.0.4, the old boards are buried under the "Classic..." submenu of the Agile menu, and the developers are now saying the Classic boards will be removed at some point in the future. When we have our planning meetings we need to quickly view just the tasks assigned to each user, and the Classic boards get the job done. However, it would be much better if the RapidBoard had this ability, using a dropdown list, as described by this request. Please consider adding this feature.

I miss this feature from the old boards. Frequently as Scrum Master I want to quickly see what each person's progress is like, so I want to pick each of them in a dropdown and filter the board to their issues. Creating a filter for each person seems like a lot of buttons.

I hope this will get a higher priority since it is a vital function for teams with many members!
