Script for updating assignee

[Eshwar Palem]

So, the scenario is like when an issue is moved from one issuetype to another issuetype the assignee should remain same i.e auto assignee of issuetype to which an issue moved.

here is my script:

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue;
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;
import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption;
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser;
import com.atlassian.jira.event.issue.IssueEvent;

Issue issue = event.getIssue();
ApplicationUser user = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser();
def mutableIssue = (MutableIssue)issue;

if(mutableIssue.getIssueType() == "Legal")
{
mutableIssue.setAssignee(ComponentAccessor.getUserManager().getUserByName("Cheryl.Marquez"))

}

Hi @Eshwar Palem 

I would refer to https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/Updating-assignee-via-scriptrunner/qaq-p/637155

Basically just replace what is inside your if statement with 

def validateAssignResult = issueService.validateAssign(user, issue.id, issue.reporterId)
issueService.assign(user, validateAssignResult)
