Jira Automation logic

[tbronson]

I am trying to figure out how to autoassign a story when a user - in a custom user field is added.

Scenario

I have logic that creates a clone story and moves it to a different project once a User has been assigned in a custom field that is using the normal Jira user field.

Once on the other project I have no seen a way to link the assignee field to = the other User field.

Hello @tbronson 

Welcome to the Atlassian community!

Are you trying to add the setting of the Assignee into an existing rule, or create a separate rule for just that task?

Can you show us the automation you have created so far?

[tbronson]

I have to add it to new logic since it is on a story on the new project - 

So we have created a field for USER Acceptance Testing - it has a list of all Jira users but it is a custom field I believe

When I clone that story when a User has been assigned to that field and this new Story resides in the A new backlog called UAT.

When I send the now cloned story to the UAT project I am trying to assign the assignee to the UAT Tester that was added to the story that triggered that Logic.

I do not know how to reference the Assignee to = UAT Tester field

Hello @tbronson 

In the Assign Issue action you use a smart value.

So I was working with the Admin to make sure I had the exact name of that field

it is called UAT Tester

So To make the story Assignee = to UAT Tester my logic should be

Assign the issue to 

Smart Value

User*

{{issue.UAT Tester.accountId}}
