Auto-selection of the user when changing the task status

a_makharov

Hi!

I have a custom field created by me with the User Picker type, let's call it "Testers". Now, I want to do automation so that in my project, when moving the status from "Ready To Test" to "In testing", this field is assigned the value of the user who transferred to this status.

In automation, I chose:

When: Issue transitioned From Ready To Test to In testing

Then: Edit issue fields "Testers" selected the type "Copy from trigger issue"

But it doesn't work. Tell me what to do?

P.S. if you select Assignee in automation, then there is a "User who triggered the event", in this case it works. But the trouble is that the custom field does not have such values.

Hi @a_makharov

Instead of picking from the list of values in the UI, I would try to set the field to a smart value, specifically {{initiator}} or one of its attributes.

Hello @a_makharov

You need to choose the option "User who triggered the event"

Hope this can help you
