Is it possible to have issues transition to different statuses on create, depending on what priority level is entered?

Question

I would like to issues to transition to different statuses on creation (e.g, to 'open' or 'input queue') depending on the priority level that was entered in the creation screen. I imagine this should be doable with a post-function or validator but am not sure exactly how to make it happen.

Alternatively, if Script Runner is a better option, could anyone point me in the right direction in terms of what code to use?

You can add a post-function on the Create transition which will execute another transition based on the priority value. Check this Script Runner sample - I think it does exactly what you need  - https://scriptrunner.adaptavist.com/latest/jira/builtin-scripts.html#_fast_track_transition_an_issue
