Set assignee on creation of subtask

[Dennis_H]

I have an issue that we use as a staging for subtasks. I'd like it if we could automatically set an assignee (same one every time) for any subtask created under this issue. I tried with a post function of setting the assignee field, but it didn't work.

You would have to add the post function for the sub-task workflow. Even that wouldn't solve your issue. Because it assigns every sub-task and not specific to your staging issue. 

You need some kind of automation. You can either use a plugin like scriptunner, automation for jira or create your own script.

We use scriptrunner (though I'm not very good with it). Could you provide an example of the code in scriptrunner to accomplish that?

Ideally it would work that if issue ="my issue" then set assignee to "this person".
