Is there a way to prevent a user from assigning an issue to themselves for a follow on status?

[Crazy Cam]

I am trying to make sure a developer cannot progress a jira all the way through the workflow on their own.  I want to prevent then from say moving an IR from In Progress to In Code review and assigning themselves as the code reviewer.

I have a transition where the screen will pop up requesting an assignee (of course it populates with themselves if its already assigned to them) but I want to ensure they pick someone other then themselves to transition to the next status.  Is that possible?  I can't figure out which condition, validator, or post condition to use.

thank you

I just tried exactly what you did (but without checking "Copy only if not set") and it worked just fine (it set the remaining estimate to 10 seconds). You cannot use the "Copy only if not set" option because this field always has a value (zero by default).

Yes indeed. So I just have also check if the value is zero and it works how we want it.

Thanx David for your help.

No there is no other error after the "I am here!". I've tried another transition with the same result. The field is not filled.

But if I use another field (description for example) the post function work well. After create of the issue the field is filled.

Did you notice any other ERROR after the "I am here!"?

Also, did you try the same function in a non-create transition?

[Alexander Regler]

I've placed the function before and after the Create Issue.The result is the same: negative. And: the post function is called during the transition as the log shows:

This is how I defined the post function (here without logging):

Did you try moving the post-function to before the Creates the issue originally post-function?

Do you have any error in the logs? To more easily locate the execution of your script, you can try adding a log statement like this at the beginning of your script:

log.error("I am here!");

and look for "I am here!" in atlassian-jira.log
