Assigning specific user when issue type "Story" and "Feature"

[yosi hatem]

Hey All,

I want to assign specific user to custom people column that we created (it's not assignee field)

How can I assign spesific user when feature or story issue type created on our project

I already did the "if" part but stuck on "then"

Thanks in advance

Hi @yosi hatem 

What type of field is you QA field?

This will work with a select custom field or a user type custom field.

With other types of field, like text, this will not work.

HI @yosi hatem 

In the edit action, select the user picker required and, select the correct user.

I don't have typing option there. I mean when I type name it doesn't show suggestions. See

Hi @yosi hatem 

That means the QA field is not a user picker field.

Can you show the custom field?

[yosi hatem]

My bad, sorry for spamming

I changed now to user picker and it's working and suggesting users

Tested the automation as well and it's working perfectly.

Thanks for your help

 Thanks both for your answer

Field is single user picker.

@Tim Kopperud how can I do this with automation? That's the question

[Tim Kopperud]

@yosi hatem the image I attached is from automation. In your last step in your image, just start writing the user name. Clicking on the AQA field will show some options, but it is still a writeable field.

@Hi @yosi hatem, if I understand your question correctly, you should be able to add the specific user simply by start writing into the QA dropdown, like shown here.

 

Edit:

This answer assumes the QA field is a user picker though, as @Marc - Devoteam detailed.

@Tim Kopperud It doesn't ask which field to assignee.

I have 4 user pickers on my project. I need to point to specific field, not general "assignee" field.

I need automation to assign on "QA" single user selection field and not general "assignee" field

Hi @yosi hatem,  I have here created a field called QA which is a single user picker. And as you see I can add a specific user to this, as shown in the image below, which is like your rule setup. 

If you cannot define a user to your QA field, it is not a user picker.
