How can I auto-assign based on custom field data?

[Dave Sokolowski]

We are trying to scale down the use of components (from 70 to 40) and would like to be able to auto-assign based on a custom field selection.

Is there a post function I can use that will auto-assign depending on the field value? I know how to set it per workflow/issue type, but not on field value.

Thanks!

I would recomend to use script runner and set assignee in post-function - here is docs.

The other way to do it - via javascript on client side. This way user will see applyed chages and could affect end result (if he knows what is he doing). An example of javascript code can be found here.

Hope it helps.

Okay, I guess I was looking for a way that didn't include custom dev. But thanks for the answers!

Try to write a plugin which contains java script and install the plugin, based on the field value of the custom field try to auto assign.Check this link for how to add plugin https://developer.atlassian.com/display/CONFDEV/Adding+Plugin+and+Module+Resources
