We have about 70 users in Atlassian, but I am working on a project that can only be "approved" by 2 people. John Doe and Jane Doe.
It appears that JSM has no functionality to have a custom field only able to select from a few individuals or group at all, which I think is highly strange and would be useful for many projects. I can only use fields that let users pick from all ~70 users, or I can create a drop down or radio buttons, but this only sends the user as a string. I want to take the string "John Doe" and then assign the ticket to Atlassian User: John Doe.
Simple example: customfield_1 = Select List > "Jane Doe" selected
Automation: Assign Ticket to customfield_1 (Jane Doe)
I do not want to use a "user picker" field, and then giving end users ~68 other options that they would only accidentally pick.
If you are using a single user picker custom field you can limit it so you can only select users that belongs to a specific group. You could then use that as the field as the approver.
All you would have to do is create a new group that only have the two approvers in it.
This works perfectly for what I am trying to do, thank you!

Hi @Tyler Giles ,
first and foremost I am not sure how you would like the process to look like, so pardon me for making guesses and maybe some tips will be a bit different.
From what I understand you are trying to get approvals for your tickets - Jira Service Management has built in functionality just for that. Follow the instructions here if you want to tryto use it.
Now to answer your question - if you have single user picker field, just go to "Custom Fields" system settings, find your custom field and via three dots hit "Context and default value" and here you can set up user to be selected from either project role or group. Also this can nicely be combined directly with the Approval workflow stated earlier.
