How can I auto-assign issues to different members in QA team based on the component of the issue?

[Ankit Singh]

I'm trying to achieve the following:

For an issue x, if the component of x is "monitoring", I want that issue to be assigned to a particular member in QA group when the issue transitions from in-progress to in QA.

Currently, I tried doing this with a post function but there is no way for me to define this condition and so all the issues are assigned to one QA member only.

My ideal solution will be:

If the component of an issue before transition was x, it's new component should become y. For component y, I will keep one QA member only.

Using JMWE addon, I'm unable to find a if this, then that type of query feature.

Hi Ankit,

I'm afraid I didn't quite get your requirements. 

During a transition, you're trying to change the Components field automatically? Based on what? And then, you want to select a different assignee based on the component, but where does the association between components and QA users come from? Hard-coded in the post-function? Or using project roles named like "<Component>-QA" (e.g. ComponentX-QA)?
