How to move a user attribute to a user system field

Let's say you are using a Jira User Picker attribute as assignee. With the AIP v7.0 assignee field is a default system field of assets. So you can move your assignee which is defined in a Jira User Picker to assignee system field.

In this article we are going to explain how you can move your 'assignee' attribute to assignee system field.

The new way of defining assignee

There is two way to decide which assets will be updated.

First selecting assets with checkboxes and performing Update Selected operation from Bulk operations menu.

Second selecting assets with filter and performing Update All operation from Bulk operations menu.

After the decide which assets will be updated, you should select Assignee(system) from pop-up which shown then press continue.

At the first step we are going to decide which fields will be updated.
