Hi everyone,

I want to find Jira issues, but i don't know assignee user. I know only part of his name. Is it possible to find assignee using *? For example assignee = "an*" and the search result will contains issues assigned for  andrew, andy, anna etc.

You will need a plugin like JQL Tricks to do this. For example, with JQL Tricks, you can do the following:

assignee in userMatches("kat.*")

 It will return all issues where assignee name starts with kat (Eg: kate, katherine etc)
