Round Robin Assignee

Katrina Rodenhaus October 8, 2013

My company just started using JIRA and Agile for our project management. At one point in the work flow we have a "review" transition that takes place. As it stands now, the review will rotate from person to person in a specified order. Is there anyway that the tranisition itself can be set to assign the issue to the next person in the order? Any input is appreciated. Thanks!

You could use the Script Runner plugin (https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.onresolve.jira.groovy.groovyrunner) to create a custom post function in your transition to do this. I think this would be the easiest method.

You could also create a new plugin with an event listener which can set the assignee.

Thank you, John. Could you give an example of how such post function would look? If "round-robin" is too complex -- because it requires state-keeping -- how about randomly picking one user from the people with the Developer-role in the project? If we try to make a plugin -- would it be possible to make the usage of the plugin an option in the list of default assignment options? The list, that currently includes Project's Lead and "Unassigned"? Thanks!
