Hi @Kyliann

Welcome to the community!

Assigning an issue to a group directly in Jira is not supported because Jira allows issues to be assigned only to individual users.

However, you can notify a group by mentioning them in comments, using a group email in notification schemes, or setting up automation rules to send notifications to a group. These methods can effectively keep a group informed about issue updates

Hi Kyliann, to set up notification schemes, you can follow these steps: 

Step 1. Ensure you have admin permissions

Step 2. Access notification schemes:
Go to Jira Settings > System > Notification Schemes.

Step 3. Edit or Create a Scheme:
Choose an existing scheme or click Add Notification Scheme to create a new one.

Step 4. Configure Notifications:

•  For each event (like Issue Created, Updated), add a notification:
  • Choose Group Custom Field Value if you use a group field, or Project Role for a role that includes your group

Step 5. Save and apply the Scheme:

Associate it with the relevant project in the project settings

Step 6. Lastly, test your setup and ensure the group receives notifications.

I hope it may help!
