How can I assign different person to the different labels?

Question

We are adding FE and BE labels to the issues. And X is preparing the FE releases, Y is preparing the BE releases.

I want to change the assigned person according to the label when the issue became to the "production-ready" status.

Thanks for your answers!

Thanks, @Piyush_Annadate

I sometimes forget about that feature of components.

Kind regards,
Bill

Rather than with Labels, use Components; Assign a component lead. As when the issue is created with that component, the assignee gets it assigned.

Hi @Ufukcan Erdur -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Short answer: not with out of the box features, although there is a simple work-around.

Longer answer:

There may be a marketplace addon for purchase which does this specifically.

You may also implement this with the built-in automation rules, triggered on a field change for labels.  I recommend pausing to ponder edge cases, like changes to people/skill area and what-if there are multiple applicable labels, etc. before you get started and then experiment with it.

If you want to try this, please look here for information about automation rules to get started.  And if you get stuck, post your rule and the community will offer help.
