Custom Script for a transition post function

[Jessica Verge]

Hi,

I do not know scripting, at all. I haven't purchased a plugin for scripting yet. We are Cloud based. Any suggestions on the best?

Also, I would like some help creating a custom script.

I would like it to auto assign based on component and reporter

Example: IF component is "Institutional" AND IF reporter is a specific "user name" assign to a specific "user name"

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you!

Jess

Jessica,

On cloud i'm using two great plugins for automation:

Jira Misc Workflow Extensions

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.innovalog.jmwe.jira-misc-workflow-extensions/cloud/overview

You can use this without the need of a script: https://innovalog.atlassian.net/wiki/display/JMWEC/Assign+to+role+member

ScriptRunner for Jira

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.onresolve.jira.groovy.groovyrunner/cloud/overview

Both are great (ScriptRunner is a must have if you need complex scripting) and they complement each other, it's important to read the limitations of the cloud plugin because they behaviour is different between the cloud and server versions (because of atlassian framework):

For example here are the limitations of script runner: http://scriptrunner-docs.connect.adaptavist.com/jiracloud/limitations.html

Hope it helps
