based on radio option selected by user in cofiform, assign the jira ticket created to 3 specific use

[Anand K]

hi Team, I am trying to create a confiform for my team, where the team submits a form and a Jira ticket is created. i am struggling with 2 issues.

1. making Due date field is optional- if users leave it blank if am getting an error message as i cannot make the due date field optional in JSON- is there a way to mark the code to optional and only work when the field has value. 

2. when users select any 1 out of 5 radio buttons- depending on the selection it has to select to sepecific user1 , user2 or user3 and add to ASSIGNEE in Jira

any help is much appreciated.

Hi @Anand K ,

Hi @Anand K 

You can use velocity templating inside the ConfiForms IFTTT macro to dynamically create a JSON mapping

https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/CONFIFORMS/Configuring+ConfiForms+IFTTT+actions+and+rules#ConfiguringConfiFormsIFTTTactionsandrules-CreateJiraIssue

For the assignee field you can use the same approach

apologies @Alex Medved _ConfiForms_ . this is fairly new to me. Could you help me with an example please? 

User selected the Type of request Radio button  (between 1 and 5)and depending on that Jira ticket (which is created) has to be assigned to respective user. Would you be able to draft up a sample mapping for below example?

 Option "1": "User1",

 Option "2": "User2",

 Option "3": "User3",

 Option "4": "User3",

 Option "5": "User1",

[Alex Medved _ConfiForms_]

#if(${yourradiofield} == '1')
 "assignee": {
  "name": "User1"
 },
#elseif(${yourradiofield} == '2')
"assignee": {
"name": "User2"
},
#end
