How to auto assign issues to different project leads using same workflow in separate projects?

Divjyot Puri

I have two separate projects and both of them are having two different Development leads. However, both the projects are using same Jira workflow. I want to assign the tickets to respective Development leads for "Code Review" using post function. What is the best way to implement it as we are not using components?

This cannot be done (as described). An issue belongs to a single project, and, rightly, can only ever have one assignee.

I suspect what you are trying to do is not have one issue. I suspect you want to clone an issue into a second project, and assign it to the other project lead.

You will need to use one of the automation or scripting apps to set that up.

@Nic Brough -Adaptavist- Let me explain:

We are using scrum and this is our structure

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Project 1: Team 1

Workflow used - XYZ

Dev Lead: ABC

When status is changed to "Code Review" I want the issue that is created in Project 1 to change assignee field to "ABC" automatically using post function.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Project 2: Team 2

Workflow used - XYZ

Dev Lead: DEF

When status is changed to "Code Review" I want the issue that is created in Project 2 to change assignee field to "DEF" automatically using post function.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't want to clone issues/tickets from one project to another. All I want is that the assignee field should get updated to respective "Dev Leads" in their respective projects.

Let me know if you need more clarity around it.

Thanks!

So why have you confused this with two projects and different people and stated that you want one issue?

It now sounds like the talk of separate projects and people is irrelevant. Your need is "assign the current issue to the development lead when it goes to a certain status"

You will need to use one of the automation or scripting apps to create such a post-function. It will need to read from where-ever you are storing "who is development lead" and copy that to the assignee field.

Okay. So, if I create a User picker custom field that stores the name of the Dev Lead and then apply post function on transition to copy Dev leads name from that custom fields and assign its value to Assignee field, will that work?

Also, just want to confirm that issues in one projects are completely mutually exclusive and doesn't have impact on each other, right? In other words, using the above mentioned post function will look for Dev leads name within the project the issue was created in and would not copy data from other project, right?

I am new to Jira, hope I am not asking too many questions.

Thanks for the help.
