assigning team members to a component

Question

Is there a way to assign a default to component to all team members? If someone opens a bug for example we would like to know which component team that individual is assigned to so we can understand where the bug was generated.

Hello @Diane Abel

You can set up automation in your JIRA Project, follow the below steps:

1) Go to the admin panel (project settings) of jira project 
2) Click on Automation
3) Here you will see 3 conditions (WHEN, IF and THEN)

Click on WHEN --> select Issue Created
Click on IF --> use JQL here (project key with component) and status is backlog
Click on THEN --> add assignee/alert-user field (define the required assignee) 
last, save the condition

So, here whenever any issue is created with the required component under your project then it will be assigned to the user.

Hope this will help you.

Thanks

Hi @Diane Abel

Not sure if I understand your requirements clearly.

Let me try to help.

* Components are defined at Project level and they act as modules that you can create to breakup your project.
* Components are then added to Issue Type Screen which can be selected by user while creating an Issue.
* Component can have a Component lead, this person can be the default assignee of the issue where that component is selected, when issue is not assigned to anyone.

As you can see that the association comes into picture when Issue is created with Component selected. If you are looking for a bit of automation then please rephrase your requirements if you can.

Thanks,

Ravi
