Updating newly created issue through transition

[Chris Whisenhunt]

I'm using Jira cloud and have JMWE. I was able to succesfully set a transition to assign the current task to someone with a specific role.

Story F's status is changed to X and the story is assigned to someone in role A. I now want to create an issue that blocks story F and has the assignee be the same person in role A that was assigned to story F.

I can't seem to get the assigning of the new issue to work. It keeps resolving back to the original assignee of story F.

@Radhika Vijji _Innovalog_ any ideas?

Hi Chris,

How did you create the blocker issue? Using JMWE Create post-function? Do you want to create the new blocker issue on the same transition (the transition to X status)? You can set the assignee of the newly created issue to that of the original issue by setting the Assignee field in the Create issue post-function configuration, under "Set fields of new issue" to 

{{ issue.fields.assignee.accountId }}

For this Create issue post-function to set the Assignee to the right value (from the role A) add a delay of a few seconds to the Create issue post-function.

Regards,
