How can we generate a child defect and assign it the user who marked the parent defect as resolved?

[Swapnil]

We are able to generate child defects after the parent defect is resolved but we are not able to find how it can be assigned automatically to the person who marked parent defect as resolved.

Expected flow, QA will raise an issue and developer will mark it as resolved. After this child defects (retrofits) should be generated in open status and directly assigned to developer.

Hi @Swapnil 

Welcome to the Community!

you can copy the reporter value from the trigger issue to the assignee field.

Thanks for the reply but I need to assign it to the person who marked it as resolved (fixed), not to reporter.

it is like a developer who fixed a defect, child defects should be assigned to him to make same changes on other version

Typically, the issue assignee is the person who moves the issue to Resolved.

Here is one possible solution that you try in your automation rule using the smart value {{initiator}}.  or you can select "User who triggered the event"

Here is the link on smart value for user object for your reference - https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-smart-values-users/
