Prompt reassignment of user when moving issue from In Review to To Do

[Ureee]

Hello there,

May I know if it's possible for me to set up a prompt / screen when I move an issue from In Review to To Do? Something like prompting a new Assignee?

The reason I ask is because I'm worried if it clashes with the current transition I have from Backlog to To Do where it auto assigns the user. Will me moving it from In Review to To Do cause any complications?

Thank you.

Yep that is totally possible!

Step 1: create and configure a screen with the assignee field on it.
Step 2: create a transition between the statuses In Review and To Do 
Step 3: assign the screen on that transition

If an assignee is already set and a screen is prompted to set it again and the assignee is changed it will be overwritten.

And if you want to “require” an update to the Assignee....

Step 4: add a Validator for field modified

@Wouter_Bruinings thanks!

I tried creating a new transition but JIRA keeps prompting saying I cannot create a new transition on a Draft. After I published it, in order to create a new transition - I had to add click "Edit" which was how the workflow went into "Draft" mode again.

Am I doing something wrong here?
