How to enable changing the default assignee when the Component is changed?

[Radhika Tk]

Hi,

I have an issue screen, where i have made the Component field mandatory. 

While creating the issue, the reporter , selects an appropriate Component value.

Now, the default assignee, realizes that this is not the correct Component and selects another value from the drop-down.

But the assignee is still the same. How to ensure that the issue is assigned automatically to the default assignee of the changed Component.

Thanks,

Radhika

Hi @Radhika Tk,

an automatical assignment to the component lead only happens when the issue is created, not if the component is changed afterwards.

There are two options:

Simple one, when you can define statuses where component change is allowed. In this case delete component from edit screen and create on each status a transition which starts and ends on this status. Add screen with component field and add biuld-in postfunction for assing.

Advantages:

• no code is requared
• spesial permission could be granted at each transition

Disadvatages: new transition is requares at each allowed status

Hard-code one: create a event listeres on issue update event and assing issue into it

Advantages:

• could be pplied at any status of any workflow
• the only one place for all usages

Disadvantages

• need coding
• dificalties with permission restrictions
