This is more specialized instance of the inability to filter on multiple values for an axis.

I would like to be able to filter and search for a group I have created in FogBugz 8 (see this post for the difference between groups in 7 and 8). In FogBugz 7, you could filter by group to find cases in projects which were set to a specified group. I would like to filter for cases assigned to users in a specified group.

	I'm surprised I can't find this feature. Would seem to be a no-brainer by version 8. I'm thinking I'm missing something ... I manage a team of developers working on anywhere upto 10 projects at a time. I need to see all active cases currently assigned to any of them for a quick glimpse at overall activity/status. Is this that uncommon or should I be doing something else to achieve this? – Jay Feb 11 2011 at 1:04
	If you need to see cases assigned to developers, you can filter on the assigned-to field, or list cases and sort by assigned-to to group them together. See the linked post if you need to list all cases in several projects. If you need help, please drop us a line: customer-service@fogcreek.com – adambox♦ Feb 11 2011 at 17:41
	A workaround is to use the search component of the filter. E.g.: (assignedto:"jude" or assignedto:"adam" or assignedto:"bob") orderby:"assignedto" – Jude Allred♦ Apr 26 2011 at 17:40
	I desperately need this feature. It's surprising that this feature doesn't exist right now. I want to be able to say: Show me all open bugs for my developers. I can't do this right now short of doing so one-by-one. This does not at all accomplish our goals. – James Thomas Mar 16 2012 at 20:40

For anyone hosting FogBugz, I have created a plugin to provide this functionality: http://www.fogcreek.com/fogbugz/Plugins/plugin.aspx?ixPlugin=71. I've submitted it for On Demand as well.

This is neat, but it doesn't work like other axes. Usually I can do full-text matching within axes, like "assignedto:kr" will match on "assignedto:kron" but with "usergroup:qa" will only match "qa" exactly, "usergroup:q" will not match "usergroup:qa". Other than that one small issue, this is a great plugin! Good work. – Samuel Neff Jun 28 at 15:25

You could achieve this in a slightly more general way by naming users by group, e.g. "Dave Hodder (Developer, Manager)" - then you could have filters that search for assignedto:"Developer", and you wouldn't have to update them each time you add or change a user.

However, seeing as FogBugz already has user groups, the above feature request seems like the proper way to do it.

Filter and search for cases assigned to any member of a group
