Automatic Assignment of Issues to Components

[Dave Frohwitter]

Is there a way for an issue to automatically be assigned to a specific Component at creation?  Can it be based on the Epic Link?

Thanks,
Dave

Hi @Dave Frohwitter ,

This is not possible with out of the box JIRA. It is possible to set a fixed Component, but not one that follows a condition!

The only way to do this would be to use a plugin like Scriptrunner and create a script listener.

Here is an example : 
https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/set-Component-in-groovy-script/qaq-p/196655

import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.comments.CommentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField
import com.atlassian.jira.util.ImportUtils
import com.atlassian.jira.user.util.DefaultUserManager
import com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.User
import com.atlassian.jira.project.Project 

MutableIssue issue = issue

Project project = issue.getProjectObject()

def component = componentManager.getProjectComponentManager().findByComponentName(project.getId(),'ComponentName')

issue.setComponentObjects([component])

Hope this helps, let me know if you decide to proceed with this solution and need further help with the script.
