Changing the assignee triggered with Issue Update event

[Nimesh Perera]

When i change the assignee using assign tab it will trigger with "ISSUE_ASSIGNED_ID" event. And also when i click assign to me it also trigger with "ISSUE_ASSIGNED_ID" event.

But when i changed assignee using the searchable text field which is in people panel it will trigger with "ISSUE_UPDATED_ID". But I changed the assignee. How can I catch that action when I changed assignee using that searchable text field. 

I want to catch this event through my plugin.(Add-ons). 

Jira version - 7.10.0

Nimesh,

You can access the request data on a listener that captures ISSUE_UPDATED event, an then check if it contains a value for the field assignee to trigger the action or not.

Definitely agreed, taking both events and checking for data when ISSUE_UPDATED is triggered is the simplest in my opinion. Will allow you to catch it even when other fields are updated!

Sorry. I could not get your idea. How can i access request data in following code. 

@EventListener
public void onIssueEvent(IssueEvent issueEvent) {
        Long eventTypeId = issueEvent.getEventTypeId();
        Issue issue = issueEvent.getIssue();
        if (eventTypeId.equals(EventType.ISSUE_CREATED_ID)) {
            MutableIssue issueObject = issueManager.getIssueObject(issue.getKey());
            issueObject.setAssignee(ComponentAccessor.getUserManager().getUserByName("user3"));
            issueManager.updateIssue(ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getUser(),
                    issueObject, EventDispatchOption.ISSUE_ASSIGNED, false);
            log.info("Assignee : {}",issueObject.getAssigneeId());

        } else if (eventTypeId.equals(EventType.ISSUE_RESOLVED_ID)) {
            log.info("Issue {} has been resolved at {}.", issue.getKey(), issue.getResolutionDate());
        } else if (eventTypeId.equals(EventType.ISSUE_CLOSED_ID)) {
            log.info("Issue {} has been closed at {}.", issue.getKey(), issue.getUpdated());
        }else if(eventTypeId.equals(EventType.ISSUE_ASSIGNED_ID)){
            log.info("Uassigned {}",issue.getAssignee().getDisplayName());
        }else if (eventTypeId.equals(EventType.ISSUE_UPDATED_ID)){
            log.info("update assigned {}", issue.getAssignee().getDisplayName() );
        } 
}

Hi Nimesh,

There is a good example here: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Answers-Developer-Questions/issue-updated-event-contents/qaq-p/548180

The changelog will show all updated fields, if assignee is part of them, you can deduce the issue have been re-assigned :)

Hope this helps!

Cheers
