Quick summary
In Jira, you can assign a task to multiple users by mentioning each team member in the issue's comment section and saving the comment to trigger notifications. This workaround lets teams collaborate on a single issue without being limited to Jira's default single-assignee field.
Steps
- Select the issue you want to assign tasks to from your Jira board.
- Navigate to the comment section of the issue and click the empty comment field.
- Mention each user you want to assign by typing their name with the @ mention in the comment field to assign the task to multiple users.
- Confirm that all intended assignees have been mentioned successfully in the comment.
- Click 'Save' to post the comment — each mentioned user will receive an email notification.
