Automatically assign the sub-task to the user in a user picker field.

teisyun

I use scriptrunner to create a set of sub-tasks when the status of the parent issue is changed, and I would like to assign the sub-task to the user who is specified in a user-picker field in the parent issue.

Is there a way to do this? any suggestion would be helpful.

Let me know if the question is not clear.

Thank you in advance.

There are a few examples below the 'Additional issue actions', which led me to doing this:

import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser

def cf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(sourceIssue).find {it.name == 'Single User Picker CF Name'}

if (cf && sourceIssue.getCustomFieldValue(cf)) {
  issue.setAssignee(sourceIssue.getCustomFieldValue(cf) as ApplicationUser)
}

 

If you're creating those subtasks all within Groovy without using the 'Create a sub-task' postfunction then that would be pretty similar process except that you would do IssueInputParameters.setAssignee() before validation/creating, but that's probably not the case I assume.
