Reporter from trigger issue by create with Automation for JIRA

[Marco Brundel]

We use Automation for JIRA en JIRA Software 7.1.4.

We made a rule that when u user create a Epic and the issue matches a JQL there is Create a new Story.
We want that the reporter of the story is the same user as the creator of the Epic.

How to do this?

Hey Marco,

You should be able to sue the following value in the Reporter field (and make sure this field is on the Create screen for the story).

{{issue.creator}}

Can you let us know if the works?

Hey Nick,

On a test environment I change the reporter field to "Copy from issue" and the reporter of the automatic created issue is the same as the reporter of the trigger issue.

But on the environment of my customer it does not work.
"Copy from issue" or "Copy from trigger issue" both doesn't work.

In additional fields 
{
"fields": {
"Reporter": "issue.creator" 
}
}
is also not working.

My customer works with JIRA 7.1.4. 
Could this be a or the cause?

Cheers
Marco

(I've this also communicate with Andreas in issue CBS-5390)

I've found the problem.
The users didn't have the permission to modify the reporter when creating or editing an issue.

Sorry!

Great to hear that you solved it!

Hi, 

You can use smart value {{issue.reporter}} to set the value of the reporter field:
