I'd like to create a property where I can assign a the Jira Issue to XYZ user once the workflow is in a certain status. I checked the user-workflow-properties support page (https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/use-workflow-properties/) - but I didn't get what I needed - any further help that someone can share?

Hello @VIJAYA KUMAR Buntupalli ,

Good day! Welcome to Atlassian Community :)

There are 2 ways to achieve this scenario, when Jira user will be assigned a issue when that issue is transitioned to a certain status.

1. Automation

  1. Go to your space -> Space Settings -> Automation

  2. Create a new rule with:

    • Trigger: "When: Status changes" -> select the specific status (eg. "In Progress")

    • Action: "Then: Assign the workitem" -> select the user (eg. "XYZ user" ).
      Save and enable the rule

2. Workflow post function

  1. Go to space settings -> Workflows -> Edit the workflow

  2. Select the transition that leads to your target status

  3. Add a Post Function ( Perform actions in new workflow editor )  -> Assign a workitem

  4. Choose the user

  5. Save the workflow

Thank you
