Hello @Abilash 

When do you want that to occur? Should it occur as soon as the item is created?

What should happen if there is already another person specified as the Assignee?

What should happen if an existing item's work type is changed to "onboard tickets"? Should the Assignee be changed?

Have you tried to create the rule? Please share with us what you have and let us know what part you have struggling with.

In the case where you want this done when the item is created, you could alternately include setting the Assignee as a Post Function in the Create transition in the Workflow that applies to that work type.

If you wanted to do it with an Automation rule the structure, in that scenario, would be:

TRIGGER: Work Item Created
CONDITION: Work Item Field Value
Field: Issue Type
comparison: equals
Value: <select the specified work type; i.e. "onboard tickets">
ACTION: Assign Work Item
Assign work item to: Specify User
Select a user: <select the user to whom the item should be assigned>

Thank you for the additional information.

In the Condition try changing the Field to "Request Type" to see if that gives you the option you need.

What type of Space does this concern? Click on the ... next to the Space name in the navigation panel on the left. Tell us what the last two lines in the pop-up say. I will be something like:

Service space
Company-managed

In a Company Managed Service space each work item will have a Work Item Type and optionally a Request Type.

Each Request Type is associated with a Work Item Type. Multiple Request Types can be associated to a single Work Item Type.

Request Types are what the customer sees in the portal. Work Item Types (aka Issue Types) are what an agent sees in Jira.

When an agent is viewing the item, if they hover over the icon next to the item key above the Summary they will see the Work Item Type for that item.

In the Details section for the item they should also be able to see the Request Type.

You need to define the condition to check that the Request Type and optionally the Work Item (Issue) Type of the trigger item are set to the values that match the types of an item you want to affect.

In your original post you said the "onboard tickets work type" which is why I initially suggested that you use the Issue Type field. It seems that "onboard" is not the name of the Work Item Type. Perhaps it is the name of the Request Type, seen by the Customers in the customer portal.
