Create a JQL Query for Component owner

[Robert Anthony]

We have a somewhat unique project with hundreds of Components. What one of my agents would like is the ability to create a filter that just searches for her issues by the "Component Owner". The idea is that once it's updated in components (with the proper owner) her filter would dynamically update without her having to adjust the filter to add her new components (as shes the owner of a few new ones every week). I'm fairly certain there isn't a solution to this, but also enjoy very much proving her wrong, so can someone please confirm this?

There's a function called componentLeadByUser that would do the trick, and it's in the default JIRA functions.

Sorry for proving you wrong

Wait, still getting problems. I am using: componentsLeadByUser(usernameinhere) but am getting "Error in the JQL Query: Expecting operator but got '('. The valid operators are '=', '!=', '<', '>', '<=', '>=', '~', '!~', 'IN', 'NOT IN', 'IS' and 'IS NOT'. (line 1, character 21)" I also tried componentsLeadByUser = username and got Field 'componentsLeadByUser' does not exist or you do not have permission to view it.

no, the way you use it is "component in componentsLeadByUser(username)". Like in the example in the doc. Burn!

I recently opened a suggestion to remove this limitation. Please vote for it if you agree it would add value to allow currentUser() to be the parameter of this function.

@Nicolas Bourdages 

Would you you be able to help me figure out why the issues were found when i did component in componentsLeadByUser(username)?

I've put the user's username but nothing...
