Use case

When doing a lot of manual work, some steps can be forgotten from time to time, even if they are tightly related to each other, e.g. transitioning an issue to "In Development" when the assignee is changed to a user in the "Developers" project role. In this example we will configure a rule that will automatically transition those issues.

Field changed event

Add a Trigger → Field changed event

Field

Choose Assignee

Changed to

Choose Any Value

No further configuration needed. The automation rule is triggered every time an issue is being transitioned.

User condition

Add Condition → User condition

User to evaluate

Choose User in field → Assignee

Check against

Choose User in Project role(s) → Developers

Transition issue action

Next to the User Condition click on Add → Action → Transition issue

Mode

Choose Transition to status → In Development

Run as

Choose User in field → Assignee

Screencast

This is how the configuration above should look on your screen

Import the example

Import the JSON file below to get started in no time.

After importing the JSON file, make sure to check the configuration of the rule. Non-existing configuration elements (issue types, fields, values etc.) will be highlighted.
