How can I auto assign a ticket to someone on a issue status transition for a specific issue type?

Question

For a custom issue type, with custom state transitions, I want to be able to auto assign an issue (ticket) to a specific person when it transitions from one status to the next.

What is the best method to do that? Automation Rules? Post processing?

Hi Steve,

best to use an automation rule (easy).

Trigger would be the status transition from "status" to "status" (or just to "status" works too)

Then you check the Issue type in a condition (issue fields condition)

and as a last step you take action with assigning the issue to a user

Hope that helps,

Holger

Hi @Steve Hooczko ,

If you want to use Automation, then answer provided by @Holger Rösch is best. Automation is best method here.

But if you want to do it differently, you can configure it using workflows. Some key points to configure with workflow:

* Configure different Jira workflows for different issuetypes
* Use workflow post-function to assign issue to specific person

Thank you !!
