How to assign multiple users to a Jira Task

Question

I'm wondering how to assign two users to one task in JIRA. I took over a project that was set up by someone else. The problem is we are doing pair programming and we would like to keep track of time.

Answer 1

I dont think you can not actually assign two users to field assignee as it is built-in field.

You can create new required field e.g. pair-assignee and have pair tracked there. Here is a doc about how to setup a custom field.
