Set Assignee field with custom field value that is the assignee.displayname

[deborah a plante]

Data Center Jira/JSM 9.13/5.13

Issue contains a Asset custom field to pull in Company asset and its attributes.  One of those attributes is "contact name". 

Have a placeholder text custom field for the "contact name"

The "contact name" = the jira users "display name".

I have it working if I enter the jira username, but that is not something that is captured in the Asset objecttype import.  

I have Scriptrunner and Automation available.   Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated

Hello @deborah a plante ,

If you want it capture the data using object import, you have to do a user lookup using a email address and then u set the account id to the attribute Contact Name. This will work as I have it configured for one of my customers. Please do let me know if you need more details on the same.

Regards,

Vijay

Hi Vijay,   if you could share the details of your automation, I would greatly appreciate it

Hello @deborah a plante ,

Here is the snippet of the automation.

{{webResponse.body}} - this smart value will give you details of the user's Atlassian account.

When I browse for my user account in jira, using the URL

The result I get is shown below. Hope this helps.
