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? 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. Francis assignee = currentUser() OR assignee was currentUser() should do it I'm not sure if things have changed with JIRA since previous answers were written, but
