If you are doing this at issue creation and before submitting if you want to change value then I guess java script - before performing any event or issue update.

If you want to happen this on issue created, updated event then groovy script do where it will actually change the asignee and email notification will flot

e.g.

import com.opensymphony.workflow.WorkflowContext
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.event.issue.AbstractIssueEventListener
import com.atlassian.jira.event.issue.IssueEvent
import org.apache.log4j.Logger
import static org.apache.log4j.Level.DEBUG
import com.atlassian.jira.bc.issue.IssueService.UpdateValidationResult
import com.atlassian.jira.bc.issue.IssueService.IssueResult
import com.atlassian.jira.bc.issue.IssueService
import com.atlassian.jira.bc.issue.IssueService.TransitionValidationResult
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueInputParametersImpl
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueInputParameters
import com.atlassian.jira.util.ErrorCollection
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.index.IssueIndexManager

class invoketransition extends AbstractIssueEventListener {
        Logger log = Logger.getLogger(invoketransition.class)
        @Override
        void issueUpdated (IssueEvent event) {
                log.setLevel(org.apache.log4j.Level.DEBUG)
                def field = event.getChangeLog().getRelated('ChildChangeItem').any{ it.field.toString().equalsIgnoreCase("YourFieldName")}
                if (field){
                	def cfg = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(issue).find {it.name == "YourFieldName"}
                        def cfgvalue =(List<Group>)issue.getCustomFieldValue(cfg)
                        if (cfgvalue == "1")
                        	//set issue.assignee = "abc"
                        //else if and so on
                }
       }
}

Hi,

You can do this by putting small java script in the single selection field.

Here are some references:

Hope this helps.

Hi Vijay,

I want to change the name of Assignee on the selection of custom field value.

for eg:

If the custom field selected value is "1" then Assignee name should be "abc", If the custom field selected value is "2" then Assignee name should be "pqr", if the custom field selected value is "3" then Assignee name should be "xyz" and etc...

Is this possible to change the name of the Assignee on the selection of dropdown value?

Please do the needful.

Hi,

This is working for me

<script type="text/javascript">
  source = document.getElementById('customfield_13750');
  if (source) {
      target = document.getElementById('assignee');
      // Hide the target field if priority isn't critical
      source.onchange=function() {
          if (this.value == <selection option id>) {
                     target.value='assignee_user_name';
                  }
      }
  }
 </script>

You need to change the customfield ID and the assignee name. Also make sure the <selection_option_id> is the id of the option of the customfield and not the option itself. It is a 5 digit number normally.

Thanks Vijay,

I am using your code and working fine but the value is not going to be set into the Assignee field. I tried multiple time with the help of alert.

And found every line is executing properly upto the end. The target.value getting the value also but the value is not coming in the Assignee field on the UI.

Could you please help me to come out form this.

Hi Najmul,

You have to put the code in the description field of the customfield. Go to Administration -> Addons -> Custom Fields -> Find your customfield -> Edit and put the script in description of the field.

Here is the doc link.

https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Configuring+a+Custom+Field#ConfiguringaCustomField-editEditingacustomfield

This makes it global for all the projects that use the custom field. If you want to do specific to one project, you need to edit it in the field configuration scheme for that project. Doc link below.
