Define a weekly on-call rotation

[Anirudh Sridhar Rao]

Is there a way to define a weekly on-call rotation for a group of developers, so that incoming issue gets assigned to the developer that is on call on a particular week.

Tried using this - https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.edwardawebb.jira-assign-escalate

This assigns issue in a round robin manner but the assignee for that week needs to be changed manually. Is there a way of automating this process.

If you set assign to component lead for items as they are created you can then just change the component lead each week. If you have a scripting plugin such as ScriptRunner 4 JIRA you can automate that change of component lead. 

Alternatively if you do not have a scripting tool built in you can do it by calling the REST API. See https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/REST/latest/#api/2/component-updateComponent for details of how to update a component.
