Approver Field is not showing up in the search criteria

[Angana Patel]

I wanted to create custom queries for approvers or the current user logged in for the approver field. 

I am unable to figure out how to do this.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi @Angana Patel 

Go to your Issue settings > Custom Fields.

Choose Approvers > Edit Details, Change "Search Template" from None to "User Picker & Group Searcher"

Then you can search approvers in JQL.

Hi @Angana Patel 

If you don't have JSM, I'm not sure it will work but you can try to create queries like 

"Approvals[Approvals]" = approver("John Smith")

or 

"Approvals[Approvals]" = approver("John Smith","Sarah Conor")

Let me know if it's working,

Regards,
