On Transition, assign task to specific user

[Philip Lucks]

We would like to automatically assign tasks to our QA lead when in the QA column.  I see the "Post Function" options as only 3 choices:

	Assign to Current User	Assigns the issue to the current user if the current user has the 'Assignable User' permission.
	Assign to Lead Developer	Assigns the issue to the project/component lead developer
	Assign to Reporter	Assigns the issue to the reporter

Is there an alternate way to assign to a specific user based on the column &/or task labels?

We do not have any Github actions at this time to try and use WebHooks.

Hello,

You would need an add-on for it. For example, you can use the Power Scripts add-on:

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/43318/power-scripts-jira-script-automation?hosting=cloud&tab=overview

You could write a post-function like this:

if(#{custom field name} == "your value" && arrayFind(labels,"your label") != -1) {

  assignee = "your assignee";

}

 You can find more info on post functions here:

Hello Philip,

You can use JIRA Automation lite plugin to configure a rule that will change the assignee of issues based on a JQL filter. Check the example below:

Here are the plugins:

JIRA Server: Automation Lite for JIRA
