How can a restrict the Assign Button to a specific Group ?

Question

Any clues on how I can restrict the Assign Function to a specific Group (or Groups), so that in certain Issue Types, and certain Transition Status, I can restrict who the Issue can be re-assigned to ?

My Project has a list of Groups that are set on for "Assignable User" in the PERMISSION setting, but I dont always want to be able to Assign an Issue to everyone in these Groups (ie sometimes I only want an Issue to be able to be re-assign to a select Group of Users)

I have tried jira.permission.assign.Groupx settings (following the guidelines at https://www.j-tricks.com/tutorials/permissions-based-on-workflow-status and variations of the command, but I cannot seem to get it to work

Happy for any tips

thanks

From my knowledged is is not possible, using Jira out of the box. As you know, the assignable permission is based on a role in the project or in the permission scheme and not based on an issue type or transition.

I think, what you could do, is to use a post function in specific transitions and pre-define an assignee: e.g. current assignee is xxxxxx but re-opening the issue shall assign the issue to  yyyyyy. This would affect all projects and issue types in the project using that workflow.
