Assignee behavior based on component selected

Sid_kvhzt3

I need a script that should check if the user in a particular group based component selected and then only assign

Lets say I have a components like A, B, C and JIRA groups like group1, group2 and group3 and if I select component A then the assignable user should be part of group1 or else it should throw a message saying like select a different user 

same of component B and C

Hi @Sid 

That should be fairly simple with scriptrunner behavior.

Start with something like this as the server-side script for the assignee field (just change values in componentMap).

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
def pcm = ComponentAccessor.projectComponentManager
def userUtil = ComponentAccessor.userUtil
def componentMap = [
   'A':'group1',
   'B':'group2',
   'C':'group3'
]
def allowedGroups = componentMap.findAll{it.key in getFieldById('components').value*.name}.collect{it.value}

def fld = getFieldById(getFieldChanged())
fld.clearError()

if(allowedGroups){
   if(! (fld.value in userUtil.getAllUsersInGroupNames(allowedGroups)) ){
      fld.setError("This user is not in component-linked group(s): ${allowedGroups}. Select a different user.")
   }
}

This assumes that if the component is not in the list of groups than all users are allowed. 

Also, this will not block users from clicking "Assign to me" in the jira issue view and the action will complete successfully even if they are not in the allowed groups. But the next edit/transition will force them to change the assignee if that field is on the screen.
