How to prepopulate current user to a custom field based on project role?

[Abhrajit Sarkar]

While creating an issue, I need to prepopulate a custom field. The custom field is a user picker. There is a condition, though. If current user belongs to a particular project role, I need to prepopulate the field. Please help.

Hi Abhrajit

This requirement will involve the usage of third-party plugins and some basic knowledge in scripting and it has actually been disccused before perhaps you can try to refer on the following links:

Hi Daryl,

Thanks for your response and guidance. I had browsed many questions but, unfortunately could not find the solution. Anyway, I will go through the discussions you suggested.
