Is it possible to search for issues where assignee=reporter?

Hi,

Is it possible to make a jql search to get the findings where assignee equals reporter? If not, is it possible with a Java programme with the Rest api?

You need a plugin, eg Script Runner, see https://jamieechlin.atlassian.net/wiki/display/GRV/Scripted+JQL+Functions#ScriptedJQLFunctions-expression(Subquery,expression)

Query would be:

issueFunction in expression("", "assignee == reporter")

First parameter is used to trim down the results that are passed to the filter, to speed things along, eg:

issueFunction in expression("project = JRA", "assignee == reporter")

is it not possible to write it in Java with the Jira rest client? I don't need to search in the web, only execute the skript once

Yeah you can fetch all the issues and just compare the reporter with the assignee. Will be slower though.
