Default Assignee

Hello,

We are unable to find how to set a specific user to be default assignee while at same time to not be project leader.

Has anyone found a way to make this work?

We are using jira 7.5.0.

Hi Vladimi,

if you want to assign every new issue to a user, who is neither project lead nor component lead, you have to assign the issue with a postfunction of the workflow's create transition (Update Issue Field).

Hello Thomas,

Thank you for quick reply.

However it's not quite clear where i can do what you have suggested. Could you please provide a bit more information how where i can set that and how?

Thanks

Thomas Schlegel

@vladimi markovic - yes, of course, no problem :-)

You have to do the following steps:

find your workflow here: http://<your-jira-url>/secure/admin/workflows/ListWorkflows.jspa
Edit your workflow
Change from diagram to text mode
Look for the initial status of your workflow and click on the status (not on a transition)
Then you see something like this:
Click on "Create"
Then click on "Post Functions"
Then "Add post function"
Choose "Update Issue Field" and set your user as assignee:
Your post function has to be first in the line of the post functions, otherwise it won't work:
Save your workflow changes - that's it

If you have further questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Hey mate,

Thanks a bunch for so detailed explanation! After a bit of trouble I've managed to set it up to work by following your guide!

This should be added to wiki somewhere ( :
