Automatic assignment based on components

[Matthias Moll]

Using the old Jira components, issues are automatically assigned to the component lead of the component which is assigned to the issue. How is this dealt with using compass components? Are issues automatically assigned to team leads?

Hi @Matthias Moll 

Welcome to our Community.

I think you've asked a good question. I just tried it and we may need an automation rule to implement issue's auto assignment:

Hope it helps.

Thanks,

Thank you for the reply. Surely you can do everything (a lot) with automation. I could solve it by:

- create a custom field to the compass component defineing the 'default assignee'

- introduce a post function after creation of an issue type which assigns the issue automatically to the default assignee of the first compass component which is assigned to the issue

However, this would be more complex than working with the "old" components. I don't want to introduce new tooling that makes things more complicated that were previously simple. Does anyone have any other ideas?
