Hi,

This snippet should work fine : 

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()

//Jira User picker ID 
int userPickerId = 10013
def cfUserPicker = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject(userPickerId)
def cfUserPickerValue = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cfUserPicker)

issue.setAssignee(cfUserPickerValue)

If it does not, add some logs to check where it is failing.

hi @Antoine Berry .

Thank you , yes there are always the same problem , i make some log but it return coorect result , but when i go to the issue there are always the same user assignee , it does not change .

i can not understand what's the problem , also there are a warn appear , in the picture .

Don't worry about the WARN, it shows because we did not specify the type of cfUserPickerValue. But it is groovy so it is not a problem, as you can see it executes correctly. 

Did the assignee change ?

[Karim Belhadj]

@Antoine Berry  no the assignee do not change , it still the same

[Antoine Berry]

Weird, this is working fine with me.

Can you add 

def issueIndexingService = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(IssueIndexingService)
issue.store()
issueIndexingService.reIndex(issue)

at the end ? See if that helped and provide a screenshot again ?

Thanks

there are another problem appear 

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField;
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser
def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.issueManager
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager
import com.atlassian.jira.user.util.UserManager

def issue = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().getIssueByCurrentKey("AB-1");
//Jira User picker ID
int userPickerId = 10013
def cfUserPicker = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject(userPickerId)
log.warn("customfield " + cfUserPicker )
def cfUserPickerValue = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cfUserPicker)
log.warn("current assignee == " + issue.assignee )

issue.setAssignee(cfUserPickerValue)
log.warn(" new assigneee = " + cfUserPickerValue )

def issueIndexingService = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(IssueIndexingService)
issue.store()
issueIndexingService.reIndex(issue)

Ah, no big deal, just an import missing. Try

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField;
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.index.IssueIndexingService

def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.issueManager
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager
import com.atlassian.jira.user.util.UserManager

def issue = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().getIssueByCurrentKey("AB-1");
//Jira User picker ID
int userPickerId = 10013
def cfUserPicker = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject(userPickerId)
log.warn("customfield " + cfUserPicker )
def cfUserPickerValue = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cfUserPicker)
log.warn("current assignee == " + issue.assignee )


issue.setAssignee(cfUserPickerValue)


def issueIndexingService = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(IssueIndexingService)
issue.store()
issueIndexingService.reIndex(issue)
log.warn(" new assigneee = " + issue.assignee )

I added the value of the assignee at the end so we can see if it updated successfully.

Hi @Karim Belhadj 
Try this:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;
import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser;

CustomFieldManager customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager();

def issue = ComponentAccessor.issueManager.getIssueByCurrentKey('AB-1'); 

def cField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Your cf name"); // You can use ID
ApplicationUser user = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cField) as ApplicationUser;
issue.setAssignee(user);
ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().updateIssue(user, issue, EventDispatchOption.ISSUE_UPDATED, false);

Give me an answer about the result!

Good luck!

You want to fill Assignee from a custom user picker field, when a specific Transition/status is reached (i.e. Task is opened, set to V&V, ...)?

there are several addons on Marketplace which help you to do this.

a free one is for example https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211836/automation-lite-for-jira?hosting=server&tab=overview
