What is a round-robin queue?

The selected group in combination with the selected project role, define a round-robin queue. Each time the post function is executed in any workflow with the same configuration (i.e., same group and project role), the issue will be assigned to the next user in the round-robin queue.
The round-robin queue consists of all the users who are members of the selected group and project role at the same time.


Next user( in selected group) using round-robin (skip if current assignee is already a project role member)

project = %{issue.project.key}

or to a specific issue type:

Code Block
languagebash
linenumberstrue
