Is there a better way? Report filter where user list includes current user

  • 1.  Is there a better way? Report filter where user list includes current user

    The way I solve the following issue, doesn't feel like the best way. It seems like there should be a simpler solution.

    On my reports, often have scenarios where I have a user list field, and simply want a filter:

    If the [User List] includes the current user.

    This is not an option, so I end up making a formula list user field, that is: Touserlist(User())

    Then my filter is: If the [User List] includes the users in the field [Current User List].

    Is there an easier way?

    I think that is the way it do it as well.

    Actually I take that back.  There is a native option to filter on specific users and the first one listed is <the current user>
