Hi @Calderara Serge 

You can add a user condition in your automation to compare

Base the user on the "user who triggered the event", in the check use "is in group" and in criteria, the required group.

The add an edit action and use smart value in the field Assignee: {{initiator.displayName}}

hello @Marc -Devoteam- ,

This is what I have done and when I specify the groupe name from the list it works fine.

But in my scenario, I do not know in advance the groupe name. The value of teh groupe is define with a custom group picker field like : User group

The idea is to use something like : {{issue.User goup.value}} in criteria but seems not to work

Any idea?

There currently are no smart values for groups, see; AUTO-680
