How do I create a Jira board filter that applies to all projects the listed assignee are working on?

[Lizz]

I have been trying to create a Jira filter to use on a team board that will bring up all the projects certain assignees are working on? Does anyone know of a general tag to use?

Hi Liz, welcome to the Community. Do you mean to say you wish to create a board that will show all issues assigned to a user regardless of project? If so try this filter for your board...

assignee = currentuser()

in rereading your post maybe the following would be more accurate?

assignee in (a,b,c...) 

where a,b,c is the list of users. You could also create a group and add members and then use the group in the above parentheses.

Thank you for the reply, Jack! I tried using the second filter suggested and it worked when I did the search but when I added it to the team board, the information didn't cross over completely. Do you have any further suggestions?

can you provide more info? what didn't work? It could be that you are running into permissions issues, e.g. some users have access to one project but not another but just guessing here. Can you provide the filter you are using? Also can you confirm if either or both projects are Next-gen?

When I applied the filter to the team board, not all of the projects that I know assignees were working weren't showing up. The filter did work in the search option, though.

All the projects are about next-gen.

I was using the suggested filter of - assignee in (a,b,c...)

ok so because they are NG have you created a classic Kanban board for this purpose? If so did you create the board from an existing saved filter and then reference the aforementioned filter? TBH, I do not use NG much at all and I seem to recall an issue where have a mix of classic and ng on a kanban was problematic. but if all are ng it should (maybe?) work.
