JSON in Jira Automation for Custom User Field = Assignee

Bryan Fitzgerald

Hi all!

I'm looking to write an automation rule for the following:

1) In the child task, Content Design, the Assignee is changed

2) In it's parent Epic, the custom field Content LED is changed to the same user.

I'm running into issues, first because Jira does not recognize the custom Content LED field as one that can be selected in the standard drop down. From searching, I see it's likely due to it being a user ID field, which is fine as long as I can do it with the advanced functionality.

Second, I have never written a rule in JSON before and don't have much of an idea to what I'm doing. I've tried to look at examples, including a few from the community here, but still can't get it to run successfully. 

Screenshot below of where I'm at. The warning message I'm getting says the JSON is valid, but that it can't be validated until the rule is run. Whenever I run the rule, I get a message that the JSON is invalid.

Any help at all is much appreciated!
