Jira Automation - Edit issue fields / User who triggered the event

[Adrian Gierlach]

Hey,

I wanted to ask for advice regarding how I can use the same functionality that is built-in for the standard Jira fields like for example 'Assignee' when I can choose the option 'User who triggered the event'. 
I want to use the same but for the custom field which in my case scenario would be QA Assignee - but there are limited options for it, only 'Copy from trigger issue' which seems not to work in this particular scenario.


What I would like to achieve?
When the issue is transitioned to a 'XXX' status - > change the QA Assignee to (User who triggered the event). Is there any other option to achieve it - maybe someone already did it with the Advanced mode?

Hi @Adrian Gierlach 

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

You can add the below smart value to your Jira Automation. It will update the QA Assignee field to  the user who triggered the event.
