How can I set various users in a custom field (multiple user picker) based on the assignee?

[osvaldo plabst]

I want to set a custom field based on a assignee, something like:

If assignee = jhon.doe 

Team = martha.jhones, robert.doe, jensen.kenobi

And if the assignee is someone else, set other team for the custom field.

how can i get it done?

Automation for JIRA is also an option....

Pro's Over ScriptRunner

• Has a UI
• Doesn't require scripting knowledge to maintain

Con's

• Yet another plugin
• Not super friendly to maintain if you have a lot of mappings\possibilities

Yes! I actually remembered that Automation has a Free but limited version, installed it and it worked without issues, automatically sets the team depending on the assignee.

Hi @osvaldo plabst 
If you have scriptrunner, you could use scriptrunner behaviors.
Here is an example based on a similar scenario.
