How to create a filter that allows me to select username from a list to display their issues

[Amit Ray]

Question from a newbee -

I am trying to come up with a quick filter in my active sprint board or the backlog in JIRA. This filter should allow me to select one out of all the assignees from a drop-down list of users assigned to this project.

Appreciate any help you can provide to get this done.

Thanks.

Quick filters do not work that way.  You set them up with a selection or query and then you toggle them on and off to narrow down what's on the board.  You don't get to select variables for them.

I guess in that case, I still some kind of mechanism to be able to choose individual users from a drop-down menu in my scrum board view. I am trying not to show all the stories from all the team members in one view.

Boards don't have functions like that.

The closest you can get is to create manual JQL based quick filters  (so qf1 is "assignee = Alice", qf2 is "assignee = Bob", gf3 is "assignee = Chuck", and so-on)

Thanks, Nic. Yes I can use JQL to filter per user. I was hoping not to have to create different filters. Propose the drop-down as an enhancement, since on a daily standup it is very useful to be able to display and discuss each team member's work separately.
