[Jeff Pak]

i have a custom field called 'end-to-end owner'

i wish to set 'end-to-end owner' as the user who creats a sub-task ticket

how can i set up the automation?

Hi Jeff.
Welcome to the community :-)

You can create a automation that looks like this:

Instead of assignee, set the field to end-to-end owner and then choose either the user who triggered the event or Issue creator.

If you don't know how to find automations, its within the project settings and then automations.

Hope this helps you.

Kind regards

Hi @Jeff Pak ,

Trigger : Issue Created

Condition : issue type = Sub-task

Edit Issue : Select Field "End-to-End Owner" and add smartvalue {{initiator}}

hey @Jeff Pak,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

Can you please clarify if you want to set this field on the Parent issue with the subtask's reporter or do you want to set this field on the subtask itself?

Based on that, you can either use branch in your rule to make it work for the Parent issue, or directly add an "Edit Issue" action in the rule to update the subtask only.

Thanks,

Karan
