Troubleshooting this post-function configuration: In case the post-function does not work as expected these are the things to look out for
When you add this post-function to a transition and trigger the transition, the add-on looks for the last assignee (excluding the current user) of the issue who belongs to the selected Project Role. If such a member is found, it assigns the issue to that user. If not, the Assignee field is not modified. By default, while searching for the last assignee belonging to the selected Project Role, the current assignee and the reporter are not considered.
Options
Include Reporter
If no previous assignee belonging to the selected Project Role was found, and the reporter belongs to the selected Project Role, then the issue is assigned to the reporter.
Include Current Assignee
If the current assignee belongs to the selected Project Role, then the issue stays with the current assignee.
Skip Inactive Users
The inactive users are skipped while searching for the last user of the selected Project Role.
Send notifications
Jira sends notifications for the change in the Assignee field value on the current issue. You can control the default value of the "Send notifications" option in the Configuration page under JMWE administration. Click here for more information.
