Need to Get assignee in labels field

[Sanjivani Wayal]

Hi,

Iam writing Automation that if issue is open status label should be populated with Asignee name 

Writing {{issues.assignee}} in edit field is giving me Asignee ID i want the name and if i try {{issues.assignee.displayname}} its giving error as in label it doesnt accepts space .

Can someone help me with the same.

This sounds like a poor use of the labels field, why are you not using user fields to hold associated users?

If you must do it, you will need to get the name of the user as a string, and change it to something that does not have spaces in it (spaces in labels are a horrid thing to do to your people, it makes labels pretty much useless)

I wouldn't bother.  If you really want to tag people in this way, you don't want to use their display names anyway - people change their names sometimes, so it's a waste of time.  It would be better to use their ID, or email address.
