Automation - set assignee

[Denny Pujo]

Hi, I have set up an automation, that after I created a branch, then it will update the assignee field with "Users who triggered the event"

but seems like, it is not assigned to the user who create the branch, instead it become unassigned

How can I change the assignee becomes user who created the branch?

Hi @Denny Pujo 

I believe the only way to do this currently is by assigning a specific person for the rule, as the {{initiator}} does not contain the person who created the branch.  Please see this suggestion to improve that: https://codebarrel.atlassian.net/browse/AUT-2404

Kind regards,
Bill

Hi @Denny Pujo 

Some thoughts about that:

1. Make sure that all users who will be creating branch will have Assignable user permission

2. Did your rule run after branch creation?

3. What says audit log?

I just notice that it is assigned to "AJ" user, which seems like a "automation for Jira"

I run it at "When branch created"

- yes user has a assignable user permission

- the audit log says successful to assign issue
