Is it possible to auto assign a team when a story is added to a Sprint for that team?

Jeff Hershberger

We have multiple teams pulling from a shared backlog.

When an issue is moved out of the backlog to, say, Team A's Sprint #1, I'd like JIRA to automatically assign the issue to Team A - instead of having to manually set the Development Team field each time.

Conversely, if the issue gets moved into out of a sprint into the general backlog, I'd like JIRA to automatically set the Development Team field to (blank).

Is this a configuration that exists now?

Nope, something like this does not exists (not out of the box). Moreover, a ticket can only be assigned to one JIRA account. Unless you have an account called "Team A" or you update a certain field in a JIRA ticket to know which team it belongs to (I'm kinda confused on your verbiage on "assign the issue to Team A and updating the "Development Team field"). So you can ignore my concern here if I misunderstood that part.

What you want here can be accomplished with scripting and some plugins. If you want to go that route, We can suggest a few things for you to try (like a simple post-function script can do some of this).
