How to set the assignee bases on the component lead only for a specific issue type.

Question

Hi,

I hope this message finds you well.

Regarding components in Jira Software, in my project company-manged, i have a lot of components, each with his own component lead.

I know that i can set the default assignee to the component lead, but i want onlt for a specific issue type, for example only for bugs.

When a bug is created the assignee will be the component lead.

Please advise!

Thank you!

Best regards,

David.

I am not sure your experience level, but you can get these via API
The Jira Cloud platform REST API (atlassian.com)

then you can place the value into the assignee field if the issue type is bug... : )..

Hi @David Pleşu ,

Welcome to atlassian community!

When you creating the issue type Bug, please add the components which component leads need to assign the issue for bug.

Components nameComponents LeadDeveloperAkashTesterTomScriptJaz

Suppose, If you are adding the Developer component in the Bug issue at the time of creating the issue, then After creating issue will directly assign to Akash. because Akash is the component lead of Developer component.

Assign issue hierarchy level

* Selected users
* Automation
* Component Lead
* Project lead

If you need more clarification, Please let me know.
