Validator: how to test for 'Automatic'

[vkopetzky]

I'm using a simple scripted validator to ensure the assignee is set.

Testing for Unassigned is selected by:

!(!issue.assignee)

How can I check if the field is set to "Automatic"?

Thanx a bunch!

You can actually access what the user entered on the Transition screen using this code:

if (ActionContext.getParameters() != null) {
  String[] assigneeSelected = (String[]) ActionContext.getParameters().get("assignee");
  if (assigneeSelected != null && assigneeSelected.length > 0) {
    selectedAssigneeName = assigneeSelected[0];
    if (selectedAssigneeName.equals("-1")) {
      // the user selected "automatic"
    }
  }
}

Thanks for correcting my misconception. :)

By the time the issue is accessed by the validator, the assignee should be set either to the project lead or component lead based on the configuration.

I don't think it's possible to know if it was so because the reporter selected that user or it was automatically applied by the project/component configuration.
