Exclude notifications triggered by myself / generic JQL filter support

[arminus]

Is there any way to add a filter to a subscription which would not report on any changes made by a certain Jira user account? It's kind of superfluous to get notifications for all changes I made to tickets on a private channel which I use to observe team progress.

i.e. I could image that being able to add a JQL statement like this issuekey not IN updatedBy("<userid>")to the filter could accomplish this, but there's no support for generic JQL in the subscription editor...

We can achieve this by adding a new field in subscription modal ex. Exclude Users, which will accept a comma separated list of user IDs. But I am not sure if this will be useful or not. Maybe we can make it configurable?

@arminus I think the feature implemented in this PR #1112. Can also help in you your case to some extent.

@arminus Can you please confirm if the above PR solves your problem or you need any other help?

@raghavaggarwal2308 I'm afraid it doesn't. My original issue was that I get notified on any change I make myself - which in my uscase I consider as spam/unnecessary noise on my private channel. Filtering for reporter or assignee does not help here.

As Raghav suggested, we can implement a filter in the subscription that excludes changes made by specified users. The logic from this pull request will be valuable for developing this feature. I estimate that implementation will take approximately 10-12 hours.

@wiggin77, do you think we should proceed with this?

@esethna another feature for consideration.
