How to set "Assignee" field as Reporter or current user in "Create issue" screen

[Prabu N]

When create issue screen populated, Assignee contains "Automatic". Instead it should be populate the current user or the reporter (both are same).

I am using script runner.

I tried with behaviours; could not get thru.

Anyone can help?

Hello,

Try to use a code like this:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FieldBehaviours
import static com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueFieldConstants.*
import groovy.transform.BaseScript

def assignee = getFieldById(ASSIGNEE)
def reporter = getFieldById(REPORTER)

assignee.setFormValue(reporter.getValue())

Thanks Alexey! It works like a charm.

I written only last 3 lines. and did not have a clue, which object is available in which package (to import)..

Any idea, where i can start learning on these? any knowledge base links.

Hello, Can anyone suggest more recent code version, Scriptrunner throws errors when i try to use code versions above

I am running this as a post-function via ScriptRunner but it is not setting the assignee for some reason:

if(issue.assignee == null){
     issue.setAssignee(issue.reporter)
     log.info("post assignee " + issue.assignee)
}

My log output comes back with 'post assignee THE RIGHT VALUE', but it is not reflected in Jira when I open the issue. 

This seems so simple but not working, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Currently am using below script:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FieldBehaviours
import static com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueFieldConstants.*
import groovy.transform.BaseScript

def assignee = getFieldById(ASSIGNEE)
def reporter = getFieldById(REPORTER)

if( assignee.getValue() == "-1" || assignee.getValue() == "")
{
assignee.setFormValue(reporter.getValue())
}

But it does not work for sub-sequent launches. if i cancel the "create issue" screen and re-launch it then assignee shows as "automatic" only.

It works only if i complete the issue creation successfully.

Any idea, how to enforce this to work every time.
