Assign to last role member, or to a specific user based on a condition.

Steve Beauchamp_8dd7w8

I want to create a post-function that will assign an issue to the last member from in the Quality Assurance role that it was assigned to. However, if nobody in that role had the issue before, I want to assign it to a specific user. 

e.g. Bob (Developer) creates a bug. He transitions it, which should assign it to the last QA role member that had it, but nobody in QA was ever assigned to the issue, so the issue should transition to Sally. 

Any ideas on how I can achieve this?

Hi Steve,

You can implement the first part of the requirement (to assign to the user to the last member of QA) using the Assign to last role member post-function.

1. Add the Assign to last role member post-function
2. Select the project role as "QA"
3. Save the post-function

For the second part of the requirement (to assign to a specific person if not assigned by the first post-function), add a Set field value post-function after the above post-function to set the assignee:

1. Add the Set field value post-function
2. Select the field as Assignee
3. Input the Value as the username of the specific user. For example, jdoe
4. Select the conditional execution section option
5. Input the following condition

6. !issue.get("assignee")

7. Save the post-function
8. Place the post-function after the first post-function
9. Publish the workflow and test
