JQL to get issues that have same reporter and assignee

Summary

JQL to get issues that have the same reporter and assignee.

Environment

Jira cloud

Diagnosis

There is no built-in function in Jira Query Language that helps in pulling the issue of who is the assignee and reporter at the same time.

Solution

In Jira Cloud, there is no possibility that you can use the assignee field and reporter field in the same parameter(i.e. assignee=reporter) in order to create the JQL filter.

However, you can use some third-party plugin like JQL Search Extensions for Jira & reports.

After installation of the third-party plugin, the below query will help you to get the required results and get all issues where the assignee and reporter are the same.
