Automation: How to assign an issue to the user from a custom field

[Chris Dunford]

When a rule is executed, we need to assign the issue to the user whose name is in a custom field.

Is there a way to do this? We don't see the custom field in any of the assignment options, including 'Another field value', which shows only standard fields like 'Issue creator' and 'Issue reporter'.

The custom field is defined as a user field, not just text.

To configure a proxy for Confluence/JIRA, you have to edit the setenv.sh (if it's a linux server ... I think it's setenv.bat for windows?!). There is an entry JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS... where you can enter your proxy server like this:

-Dhttp.proxyHost=<PROXY_HOST> -Dhttp.proxyPort=<PROXY_PORT> -Dhttp.nonProxyHosts=<hostname|hostname|hostname|...>

To install a plugin by hand in JIRA with an uptodate UPM installed, you have to go to the admin console -> Plugins -> Manage Plugins.

In the upper right corner you'll find a link "Upload Plugin", which is for manual plugin installation.

Are you behind a http proxy ? If yes, setup your JVM accordingly

Yes, the base URL is: http://localhost:8080, and it's the good one.

Make sure you're JIRA base URL under Admin->General is correct. Probably one of the most common causes of UPM issues
