JQL Question: I need a list of stories where I am @ tagged in the story or comments

[Merline Bhukhanwala]

JIRA permits a single person to be assigned to a story; and we typically assign the core developer. However, there's always a supporting Product Owner (PO), and we tag their name using @<name> in the story description.

Given we have multiple POs supporting stories in a sprint, a PO would like to create a filter/view that lists all the stories where he/she is tagged - either in the story or in the comments field.

The WatchedIssues() function wouldn't work unless we requested POs to watch all the stories that are assigned to them, or that they get tagged to later -- which is an additional workflow step that we don't want have to use if there's an easier way to find the list.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

Maybe a filter with this JQL could help you:

description ~ currentUser() OR comment ~ currentUser()

You can change the currentUser() by the username of your PO or leave it as currentUser() if only PO is going to use this.

A little advice: This will work because it searches for the lower username in comments and descriptions (as, for JIRA, @ mentions are [~username]), but if someone uses this username in a comment or description and is not for mention, it will appear too. And maybe this can cause confusions.
