Assign checklist item to members based on drop-down selection in custom field

[Tariq]

Hi! I've assigned a few options in a drop-down list in a custom field. Now I want to create rules to assign various checklist items to the members of our team, depending on the option selected in the custom field list. Any ideas?

Hi Tariq, welcome to the Atlassian Community!

There are various ways to achieve the desired result, each with its own set of possibilities depending on the trigger you prefer.

If you want the rule to be triggered when the Custom Field is set, then the only option would be to assign all the items from a checklist to the same member. Here's an example:

when custom field "Options" is set to "Option 1", for each checklist item in a checklist named "Checklist 1", assign the item to member @username1

However, if the checklist item will be created after setting the Custom Field, then you'll have the flexibility to assign each item individually:

when an item is added to checklist "Checklist 1" in a card with custom field "Options" set to "Option 2", assign the item to member @username2

In either case, you'll need to create a rule for each dropdown option.

I hope this is helpful. Let me know if you have further questions, and I'll be glad to assist!
