Assign Multiple Users

Michael Gloss

We assign a single owner to requirements. Is there a way to assign multiple users without creating a user group. For example, a requirement will have an Assigned To User, but there may be a second field for "Stakeholders" and I'd like to add multiple users in that stakeholder field. 

Basically I'd like the requirement to be connected to the whole subteam so junior engineers can see what requirements they are assigned to.  Looking for an existing solution or work around or a link to an existing discusion post. Thanks.

Hi Michael,

we are moving away from the "assigned To" field. It is compulsory for the only test run (by design)

For the other item types we are using pick lists: something like Domain or Department.

Best regards,

We could also benefit from multiple assignees. We have items that are in the responsibility of several persons from different disciplines. In the past we tried using Categories and noting down the affected disciplines. But that did not work well because when using a discipline, then you do not address a dedicated person and no one will react.

For the assignees we use filters so that every assigne can find their items.

Right now we use the comment field and track all assignees. This is not an optimal approach, as the filters cannot be used by the assignees to find items assigned to them. We need to reply on everyone answering to a comment. Or we add sub items for each assignee. It is the a manual effort to bring the analysis result from each assignee to to parent item.
