Multi user picker for JIRA report

[Anthony Castillo]

I am trying to create a plugin report that needs a field(property) to take in multiple users and use those for my data set.

Is there an existing multi-user picker that the reports can use, and if not is there a way to create one for the report?

Yes, there is a custom field type called "multi user picker". Add that where you need it and you'll be able to use it in your report (when your code says "get data from custom field", it will return a list of users).

Thanks for the reply Nic. The report im am talking about is for plugin development, is that the same thing that you are saying?

Currently I tried to research plugin development resources and saw a list of property types that can be added (https://developer.atlassian.com/display/JIRADEV/Configuring+Plugins+with+Object+Configurable+Parameters).

Is there a way to add the "multi user picker" as a property type?

I'm not sure what you mean by "the report is for plugin development".

However, the list of properties you point at makes me think you are asking about report parameters and not reporting on issue fields. My answer was for issue fields, so it's of no help to you.

There are no multi-user, or even user parameter fields you can use in there. You'll need to write a class to provide user values for a "multi select" parameter.

Thanks Nic, I guess there is also no way to implement it. We will try to find a different way to approach this.
