Automation rule to populate custom field with user's email address

[Jamie Spatz]

Trying to write an automation rule that will populate a field with the user's email address. I know that it's possible with Scriptrunner, but is there a way to do it with the native automation?

Hi Jamie,

you can use Automation for Jira for that use case.

Use "Create Issue" as trigger and set "Edit Issue" Action with the smart value "{{issue.reporter.emailAddress}}" as value for your custom field.

That should do the job just fine.

Thank youuu!  I knew there was a way to do it, I just haven't had enough coffee to go bouncing through documentation yet this morning :D Much appreciated!
