[NA]

hi

Is there a way to assign an approver based on custom field option selected in a form?

thanks

Hey @NA ,

I think you're best bet here is to use Automation. You can find that under Project Settings -> Automation

Here you can create a rule that runs on either Issue Created or Issue Updated. (depending when you want to set the approver).

Within the automation rule you have the ability to do a field value comparison and then an action. So technically you could say 

if custom field = something

then edit issue: set field approvers to this static value 

it will be a hardcoded thing so hopefully you don't have 100 different options to go through?
