I am trying to create a filter to search for all issues that were ever assigned to me, even after the assignee is changed. I cant find the appropriate search parameters for this. Is it even possible in jira?

assignee was currentUser() should do it.
It will also include issues that are currently assigned to you.
If it doesn't, try: (assignee = currentUser() OR assignee was currentUser())

5Sorry I am new to JIRA. I'm looking at the web interface and I have no idea how I would make this work. Is there some place where I c+p this? Could you provide some additional instructions? – MedicineMan Feb 14 '13 at 22:22

When seeing a list of issues, press "Edit" on the left sidebar to edit the query. – Edson Medina Feb 14 '13 at 22:26

3on a page with list of issues, you need to click on "Advanced" search – premek.v Apr 05 '16 at 10:40

2I find that the `was` search also brings up my currently assigned tickets. – Hew Wolff Oct 16 '18 at 20:43

"assignee was currentUser()" will find also the issues that are currently assigned to the user. Thus you can drop "assignee = currentUser() OR" and the result will still be the same. No need for it. – Deyan Lambov Jun 08 '21 at 12:31

And if you want to exclude currently assigned tickets then use `(assignee was currentUser() AND NOT assignee = currentUser())`. – Wiktor Czajkowski Jun 28 '23 at 08:48

I'm not sure if things have changed with JIRA since previous answers were written, but all I needed was:
assignee was currentUser()
This will pick up things that are currently or previously assigned to me.

1Thanks a lot. Its really frustrating to see that default Jira UI doesn't have any hint how to do that because its generally a very important requirement. – vibs2006 Apr 23 '18 at 10:42

- Click the eyeglass icon on the left pane
- Click on "Advanced search for issues"
- In the top right, click on "Advanced Search" to open the JQL textbox
- Enter the query:
assignee = currentUser() OR assignee was currentUser()
If you'll use this repeatedly, click save and name the search. Then you'll see it on the left bar under Starred...

Check out the toolkit plugin https://studio.plugins.atlassian.com/wiki/display/JTOOL/JIRA+Toolkit+Plugin
It has a custom field 'Participant' which allows you to find all issues that you raised, were assigned to or commented on.

It seems the toolkit plugin URL has changed and is currently: [https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/5142/toolkit-plugin-for-jira?hosting=server&tab=overview](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/5142/toolkit-plugin-for-jira?hosting=server&tab=overview) – Thomas Fitzgerald Mar 14 '19 at 18:53

issue in watchedIssues()
... might also be of use. It gets every issue relevant to you.

1Actually it gets all issues where the current user is a watcher. Other relevant issues won't be returned. – mdoar Jun 20 '14 at 15:37

On the JIRA web application/site navigate to Issues (in header) > Search for issues, then enter your search criteria.
