Autoassign not working

Deborah Ciampá

Hi, I am using the Jira automation to assign an issue when created to a specfic person based on the country selected by the reporter. However, the automation is not working, and I am always the assignee.

Same issue, I am also always the reporter, even if someone else created the issue.

All issues are created via Slack, but also there I put all the correct settings.

Does anyone know what the issue could be? Not sure if I am missing any setting where I am the default assignee.

Thanks a lot!

Hi @Deborah Ciampá , welcome to the Community.

Would it be possible to share your rule and also the log where the rule fails? Finally are you the Project lead and if so is assignment defaulted to the project lead? Look at project settings > Details. Finally can you check the History of a new issue created where these assignments are undesirable? I am interested if there is any clue as to who/what might be making the assignment to you.

Hi Jack, thanks a lot for the quick answer!

Regarding the default assignee, no I had already checked that, and it's not assigned (I'm also not the project lead).

Regarding the history, the assignment automation doesn't appear in the history at all, but another automation related to the due date works instead.

I didn't know I could check the log, thanks! I see that it says that the ticket commops-9 doesn't meet the conditions. However, the reporter selected France as country when creating the ticket, so still unaware of what the problem might be.

How can I share the rule with an external party? Here some screenshots in the meanwhile.

I think there is an issue with the Slack workflow builder, because the ticket history says "Deborah Ciampá created the Issue", while actually a different person reported the issue. However, also there, I put Person who submitted the form as Reporter (which was not me) so not sure where the problem lies.

Hi Deborah, the screenshots are fine and that's what I was looking for so thanks for that. One question and one request. What type of field is country? Could you edit your rule and add a Log action Recording the country? You can place this as the first component after your trigger. I just want to ensure that the value is indeed "France".

One final question, what happens if you manually create an issue within the application instead of via slack?

Hi @Deborah Ciampá

This could be a timing problem (i.e. racetrack error). The Issue Created trigger can fire before all of the data is available for an issue...and so your conditions fail in the rule because the Country is empty.

The work-around for this symptom is to add a Re-fetch action immediately after your trigger. This will slow down the rule, reloading the issue data, before running the condition check.

Kind regards,
Bill

Hi Bill, thanks a lot for the suggestion, I see that the automation is working now!
