Use JSU Automation Suite for Jira Workflows to populate a field on transition

[Fred W]

We have JSU Automation Suite for Jira Workflows and we have set up an approvals transition that ensures that only a person in a certain group can transition to approved. We now want the username of that person to be filled in in an "Approvers Name" field automatically when they make that "Approval " transition . How can we do that ?

Hi @Fred W

You need to use the "update any field post-function". Link: https://beecom-products.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JSU/pages/25680673/Update+any+Issue+Field+Post-Function

Then in the in the value use the macro = "%%Current_USER%%
