Issue HTML creation link assigning to @me?

Question

Hi there,

working on JIRA v5.1.8 i am trying to create a issue by HTMl hyperlink.

Everything works fine, but i can't figure out how to set the assignee to the
currently used user? Is there a shortcut like @me or something like that?

I would appreciate if you can give me a hint on that.

Best regards,
Marc

Hello @Marc Weickenmeier

did you find a solution for this "Assign to me" setting through HTML link?

Thank you and BR

There is no way for fetching the current user because the script is not running in/on Jira - that's the reason why i use the HTML link interface. There has to be a way to define that, i am sure about that. Can i contact the JIRA devs?

You will have to update your script so that it will programatically get the current user and build the html link first before applying it in the href link.
