When you add this post-function to a transition and trigger the transition, the add-on checks for the default member of the selected Project Role
. If such member is found, it assigns the issue to the fetched user. If not, the issue is assigned to a random member of the selected Project Role
. If there are multiple default members, a random member is picked among them.
The easiest is to have only one user in the selected |
If the selected Project Role can contain more than one user, you should specify how the post-function will identify the default member to use. Since Jira does not support the notion of a default member for project roles, the Assign to role member function identifies the default member of a project role for a project by going through all the members of the project role looking for a User Property with the following two characteristics:
For backward compatibility, the following two forms are also supported:
Or: (since 1.5.3)

To customize the assignment select any of the following options:
Project Rol
e. In this case, user selected in the Assignee
field on the Transition screen (if any) is ignored.Project Role
only if the user selects Automatic
in the Assignee
field on the Transition screen. If not, the Assignee field will not be modified.Project Role
. If not, the Assignee field is not modified.Project Role
only if the assignee is not changed (or set to Automatic) on the Transition screen. To execute this post-function based on the result of a groovy expression see Conditional execution/validation using a Groovy expression.
By default, all errors (Java Exceptions) raised by this post-function, including those raised by custom Groovy scripts, will be logged in the JIRA log file but will not be reported to the user and will not prevent the transition from completing. However, when designing new workflows or troubleshooting them, it is more convenient to be notified immediately of any such error during the execution of the transition. For example on the production Jira instances you might want to show errors only for the post-function(s) being worked on, in order to avoid disrupting other workflows. To make errors raised by the current post-function prevent the transition from completing and show the error in the browser, select Make transition fail when an error occurs in this post-function
.
If you want to show all the errors, either only to the admins or to all users, configure the option globally on the JMWE configuration page. For example, on development and staging Jira instances, you can activate error reporting for all JMWE post-functions, to display all the errors and it is recommended to do so, and on production Jira instances you might want to activate error reporting only to administrators so that they can be made aware of configuration errors.
When the option is selected on a post-function, it overrides the configuration on the JMWE configuration page. |
