How to automatically assign an issue right when it is created?

Emil Khairov_75v9gn

Hello,

 

I am trying to set an assignee right at the "Create" Transition of an issue. 

I've tried traditional post-functions in the workflow, as well as ScriptRunner features. However, I am unable to reach my goal.

I am able to update the Summary field at the "Create" transition but non of my attempts work for the Assignee field.

I've actually managed to do this.

The issue was in the way I was trying to access the assignee field. Apparently, it goes deeper and looks similar to this:

assignee{

...

accountId: "someID"

...

}

So, I had to use the following script of the ScriptRunner to achieve my goal:

def issueKey = issue.key
def newAssignee = 'Insert User ID here' // it is important to insert user ID.

def result = put("/rest/api/2/issue/${issueKey}")
        .header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
        .body([
                fields: [
                        assignee: [accountId: newAssignee
                        ],
                ]
        ])
        .asString()
