howto copy assignee of subtasks

[Andreas Schierz]

Hey there!

I´wondering if there is a possibility for this:

I enter several subtasks to a parent

now i´d like to copy the assignee one after the other:

subtask 1 not done -> copy assignee 1 to parent

subtask 2 not done AND subtask 1 done -> copy assignee 2 to parent

subtask n  ...

is that possible?

i´ve searched, but maybe wrong...

thank you very much for your thoughts!

Andy,

Do you mean to ask if you can have multiple assignees on the parent? If this is what you mean, no it is not supported by Jira. 

You could create a custom field of the type "user picker", add it to the parent issue screen, then use automation for jira to copy subtask assignees into that field.
