Set custom user field to transition author

[Josh Costella]

I'm trying to create an automation that upon transition, will update a custom user field with the user who performed the transition.

My only options are:

Copy from Issue

Copy from Parent

Copy from Epic

Copy from Trigger Issue

Would trigger issue give me the desired outcome?

Hi Josh,

For this you have to use a smart-value currently: https://docs.codebarrel.io/automation/smart-fields/smart-fields.html

You can paste this directly into the field:

{{initiator}}

This will get replace with the initiator's user key at runtime.Hope that helps!

Cheers,

Andreas
