How can I set the assignee to the current user if no other user is selected during transition??

[MoBe]

I'm trying to set the assignee during a transition. I would like to assigne the user, selected in the default assigneepicker of the transitionscreen, or if it's on automatic or not selected to set the current user as assingee.

Does anyone have an Idea how to handle this?

You could definitely achieve that by creating a custom script post-function with Script Runner that does something like this:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue

def Issue issue = issue
if (!issue.assignee || issue.assignee.name == "myAutomaticUser") {
    def currentUser = ComponentAccessor.jiraAuthenticationContext?.getLoggedInUser()
    issue.assignee = currentUser
}

Hi Alejo, thank you for your input. Do I need to replace myAutomaticUser with the user name to be expected? Or may I can also directly query the "automatic assignment" option from the transition screen? So far I'm not yet the JIRAGroovyInternalsDeveloperGuy... but maybe I am becoming so.

[Alejo Villarrubia [Adaptavist]]

Yes, you will need to replace myAutomaticUser with the username of the default assignee of the project.

OK understand. Then I have to preparde a longer List of assignees corresponding to the selected component and project. Is ther now way to query the transition screen from a post function?

[Alejo Villarrubia [Adaptavist]]

Why would you need a list of assignees? Sorry, I probably don't understand your question.

[MoBe]

Because we haven't a default assingee by project. We use just the default assingee per component.

[Alejo Villarrubia [Adaptavist]]

ok, that makes sense. In that case you could do something like this: import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue def Issue issue = issue if (!issue.assignee || issue.componentObjects.any { it.name == issue.assignee.name}) { def currentUser = ComponentAccessor.jiraAuthenticationContext?.getLoggedInUser() issue.assignee = currentUser }

You are great! I will try this later. THX

I tried this in Open transition but it doesn't work there. In another transition it works fine.

So what's the reason why?

Whar can I do?

You can probably use the Script Runner Add-On to craft a script that will do that for you. By default this is not possible in JIRA.
