Set Assignee based on custom field in Create screen

Kamal Iqlaas Ismail

Hi everyone,

Hope this question finds you well.

On create screen, I want to be able to determine who is the assignee based on the chosen value of a drop down custom field. (using Behaviour Script)

I looked here but the answers given seem to point after the issue has been created.

And others that I looked also most of them  handle after the issue has been created,

Here is my code:

 

void setAssignee(){

  FormField ffAssignee = getFieldByName("Assignee")

  String value = getFieldById(customfield_id).getFormValue()

  if (value in HERE){

    ffAssignee.setAssigneeId("name.lastname")

  } else if (value in THERE){

    ffAssignee.setAssigneeId("name.lastname")

  }

}

I tried this as suggested in here (given in link above as answer), but still could not get it to work

void setAssignee(){

  FormField ffAssignee = getFieldByName("Assignee")

  String value = getFieldById(customfield_id).getFormValue()

  if (value in HERE){

    ffAssignee.setAssignee(ComponentAccessor.getUserManager().getUserByKey("name.lastname"))

  } else if (value in THERE){

    ffAssignee.setAssignee(ComponentAccessor.getUserManager().getUserByKey("name.lastname"))
  }
}

Any pointers would be helpful!

Here is the working code. just need to change the field pickup to getFieldChanged()

 

void setAssignee(){

  FormField ffAssignee = getFieldByName("Assignee")

  FormField desiredField = getFieldById(getFieldChanged())

  String value = desiredField.getFormValue()

  if (value in HERE){

    ffAssignee.setFormValue("name.lastname")

  } else if (value in THERE){

    ffAssignee.setFormValue("name.lastname")

  }

}

 

Hope this helps anyone who is facing same issue.

Stay safe everyone
