Auto Assign per User Picker Field

Adam Crow

I have created a "PTO Request" issue type and have included a user picker field on the form which will be used to specify the requestor's manager. I would like to set the workflow up so that when the issue is created, it is automatically assigned to the manager specified in the user picker field so they can be notified and either approve/decline the request.

Is there a way to auto-assign an issue to the user specified in a "user picker" field?

Hi, Adam.

You can do this with the plugin 'JIRA Suite Utilities', which comes with OnDemand, but you have to enable it.

Once you have this plugin enabled, you can go to the 'create issue' transition in the workflow you want to modify and add a post function. When you create the post function, choose 'Copy Value From Other Field' . In 'Source Field' you choose the field that holds the requestor's manager and in the 'Destination Field', you choose 'Assignee'.

The order of the post function may affect the functionality.

I hope it is helpful.

Kind regards.
