How do I set default assignee for custom field?

Question

Hello, we have a custom field that is called FOR SQUAD, which is simply a pick up menu to choose a team. I'd like to set a default assignee per team but I couldn't find an option. Can somebody help?

Hi @Ilaria Fazio

If You Have Script Runner Plugin

Here it is. It could be some changed based on custom field type.

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue

String userName;

switch(ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectByName("fieldname").toString()){
case "1": userName = "user1";break;
case "2": userName = "user2";break;
case "3": userName = "user3";break;    
}

issue.setAssignee(ComponentAccessor.getUserManager().getUserByName(userName))

Cheers

If I understand you correctly, you have a select list with a set of teams. The user picks a team and you want JIRA, in the background, to select a particular member of the team the user picks. That can't be done out of the box. You would need  a plugin or some scripting.
