A co-worker is going on leave and wondered if there was a way in the Jira tool to establish a delegate for approval tasks?

Hi @AlisonO 

We use an app (add-on) from the marketplace called Out Of Office Assistant.

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211752/out-of-office-assistant?hosting=server&tab=overview

There is a server and data centre version and it's relatively inexpensive.

This app allows you to delegate (re-assign) issues while you are on holiday. It's not possible in base Jira.

Regards,

Gary

This app is awesome but it only reassign ticket or it can change the approval list too?
