Info

If you want a specific user to be picked, you must either use the User Property (explained below) or use a more specific Role (one that contains only a single user).

Since JIRA does not support the notion of default member for a default member for project roles, the Assign to role member function identifies the default member of a project role by going through all the members of the project role looking for a User Property with the following two characteristics:

  • Property key: defaultAssignee
  • Property value: contains a comma-separated list of entries in the form ProjectKey -> *RoleName. *For example: 

 

TST -> Developers, JMWE -> Testers

For backward compatibility, the following two forms are also supported:

  • Property Key: {ProjectName}x{RoleName} (for example: CoolProjectxQAMembers)
  • Property value: "default" (without the quotes)

Or: (since 1.5.3)

  • Property Key: defaultAssignee{n}  (where n is a number from 1 up, for example: defaultAssignee1)
  • Property value: {ProjectName}x{RoleName} (for example: CoolProjectxQAMembers)

...

Assigns the issue to the member selected on the Transition screen, only if the member belongs to the selected Project roleRole. If not, it assigns the issue to the default member of the selected Project role.

...

Assigns the issue to the default role member of the selected Project Role only when either the assignee is not changed on the Transition screen or Automatic is selected in the Assignee field. If not the issue is assigned to the selected assignee on the transition screen.
