Automation - Interested Party Field

anacst

Hi - I'm trying to add an automation that would add the person who sets the status of the JIRA item to Done as an Interested Party of the item. Is this possible ? 

I even tried to create a sub-test and I was able to assign the newly subtask to the person who is trigering the event but for the Interested Party there is no "user who triggered the event" option but only a copy from and I wasn't able to copy from a child record

Hi @anacst

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

You can achieve this via the following automation.

Trigger - Issue Transitioned --> Done

If you are using Cloud, use the {{initiator.accountId}} smart value in the "Interested Party" custom field, if you are using Data Center, use {{initiator}}.

If you want to keep the existing value on it, and add the new ones, use the following JSON in the Additional Fields section when using the "Edit issue" action.

Cloud.
{
"update": {
"Interested Party": [
{ "add": { "accountId": "{{initiator.accountId}}" } }
]
}
}

Data Center.

{
"update": {
"Interested Party": [
{ "add": { "name": "{{initiator.name}}" } }
]
}
}

Will be glad if this works for you!
