How to get first user from multiselect custom field jira

[Shugyla Omirbay]

Hi! So, in my project we have a multi select user picker field called "Responsibles". There has to be at least one value set but more than one can be in here. When the ticket transitions to "Testing" I would like to assign the ticket to the first responsible in the list. How do I select this first user?

Hi @Shugyla Omirbay ,

you can achieve this using automation. 

1. Create an automation which is triggered when an issue is transitioned to "Testing". 

2. Edit the issue and in the assignee field use smart value to achieve this. 

You need to do something like this

{{issue.customfield_10062.value.get(n)}}

This will return the selected values.  For example, I have

Option1
Option2
Option3
Option4
Option5

User selects 1 and 3

{{issue.customfield_10062.value.get(0)}} will return Option1

{{issue.customfield_10062.value.get(1)}} will return Option3
