Hi,
When choosing a component lead when creating an issue also trigger the issue assignee to be the same (automatically)?
Thanks in advance.
You can have a workflow post function to automatically assign the ticket to the component lead, when a component is selected during issue creation. Is that what you meant?
Not sure what you meant by choosing a component lead when creating the issue because you can't change component lead while creating issues. Are you talking about a custom field instead?
You can have a workflow post function to automatically assign the ticket to the component lead, when a component is selected during issue creation. Is that what you meant? Yes, this is it! So I have to look at teh post function feature?
You can do this off-the-shelf. Look at the list of components, and you'll find some settings to the right about who the default assignee is - project lead, unassigned, project default or component lead. No need for post-functions.
If you want to do it during issue creation, do what Nic mentioned. If it is during another step in the workflow, go for the post function.
Great answers! Another request is when cloning an issue that is assigned to the component lead and then 'edited' for new fields, for the new component lead to also be the new issue assignee.
Meaning, I created an issue and based on the component, the same user is the assignee. Now when I clone this same issue and edit the fields (component being one of them) the new component field option assignee should also now be the issue assignee.
Currently, it's not changing the 'assignee' when editing the component field.
Thanks again!
