Script to auto assign issues based on a specific word in the summary.

Aravindi Amarasinghe

Hi All,

I have this requirement to auto assign issue to the reporter based on a Specific word (say "ABC") in the summary. I couldn't find any good way to to that in the community.

Can somebody help me with a script or a link to a possible solution?

Thanks in advance.

If this is a Jira Service Desk project, you could do this using Automation.

But if this is not a service Desk specific project, Jira does not have a native way to do this.   But you could use a 3rd party plugin to allow for more extensive configuration abilities.  For example, the Automation for Jira plugin could help with this same kind of functionality that exists in the service desk projects.

There are probably other plugins that can also do this like Scriptrunner, or Power scripts, but these would require you to create a custom script for those plugins to be able to handle this.
