How to trigger an automation from a group assignee ?

[nicolas.rigaill-ext]

Hi Atlassian community !

I want to create a new automation that is triggered by the update of the group assignee on an issue.

Does anyone have an idea to do it ? 

Thank you,

Nicolas

Hi @nicolas.rigaill-ext , I'm not familiar with "group assignee" field. Regardless you should be able to use the "Field value changed" trigger. Have you tried that?

@nicolas.rigaill-ext ,

from the image you provided it appears you were able to use the "Group Assignee" being updated as the trigger. This was your initial question. Is that correct?

Now it appears you are trying to use the "Issues field condition" to inspect the same Group Assignee field and finding that is not an option. Correct?

Can you please detail exactly what you are trying to achieve so that we might be able to guide you further?

Hello @Jack Brickey ,

I wanted to create an automation triggered when the "group assignee" field match with a specific group value (e.g. group assignee = Group B)

So I chose the trigger "value changes for" : Group assignee, and then I wanted to add the condition "Group assignee" = Group B.

Thank you

I wonder if the following would work...

Trigger - Field value changed for Group Assignee

Condition - JQL - if :group assignee" = "Group B"

Action - xxx

Hi @Jack Brickey ,

It works ! It was easier than I think. 

Thank you

Hi @Jack Brickey  and @Dirk Ronsmans ,

Thank you for your reactivity. The group asignee field is a Group Picker (multiple groups).

I already tried to use the "field value changed" trigger, but I can't use this particular field. 

I also tried a JQL condition : 

"Group Assignee[Group Picker (multiple groups)]" = [My group] --> But I can't find my target group using this query.

Thank you,

Nicolas

Is this a team managed or company managed project?

Hey @nicolas.rigaill-ext welcome to the community!

What kind of field is your group assignee?

Normally you can set the automation trigger to "field value changed" and then select the field it needs to trigger on.
