is there a way to display a column to show the values of a user property with JQL?

[Josh Kronick]

I am curious.. If i set a user property in their user profile from my site administration panel, is there a way that i can use JQL to output to a column, the value of those user properties, when i am creating a report with JQL?

for example... i want to find all issues that user X worked on in Project Y, and when the results are returned, include a column that displays a specific user property?

please advise,

Thanks

Hi Josh,

If I had to do something like that, then I'd create a scripted field which would be populated by user properties' values. Then simply display that field in your search results just like any other field.

Thanks Ivan --

After some poking around, that is exactly what i did. i wanted to indicate in JIRA as a user property whether or not the user was a contractor or full-timer. Then when i return issue search results of the tickets worked on by each user, display a column that shows the status of each user.

by using a "User Property Custom Field" i am able to do exactly that.

there are other conversations on the proper syntax and how to setup the custom field, but it works  perfectly!

Thank you!
