Can I set the component Lead to a read only field within an issue?

Assignee will change throughout the workflow, but would like the componenet lead known throughout this processes on the issue.

You can use the Script Runner plugin (below), which has a script custom field type. Then all you have to do is create a simple script that will show the component's lead. Also, you need to keep in mind that an issue can have more than one component.

Hi kjacobs,

You can create a custom field to display that information.

The plugin also provides a components issue tab panel to display components related to an issue along with its description and lead.

What Custom Field would I use?

[Kathleen Jacobs]

Using Script Runner and creating a Script Field:

import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager
 
def componentManager = ComponentManager.getInstance()
 
def leads = issue.componentObjects.toList()
if (leads) {
    def lead = leads?.first()?.lead
    if (lead) {
        issue.getComponentObjects().getAt(0)?.getLead()
    }
}
