Varying assignable users by transition

Warning

The following code modification will only work for versions prior to 3.2.

Using the JIRA Workflow-based permissions plugin, the jira.issue.assignables attribute can only be placed on workflow steps. If you need to have a different set of possible assignees for each transition from a step, this requires code modifications to JIRA. Add the following method to CommentAssignIssue.java:

public class CommentAssignIssue extends AbstractCommentableAssignableIssue
{
...
    public Map getAssignableUsers(GenericValue project, GenericValue issue) throws Exception
    {
        String assignableGroup = WorkflowUtil.getMetaAttributeForAction(issue, getActionDescriptor(), "jira.issue.assignables");
        if (assignableGroup == null)
        {
            return super.getAssignableUsers(project, issue);
        }
        else
        {
            // We have overridden the assignees at the action level, eg. the "Data Changed" action
            // Whatever group jira.issue.assignables specifies, is what is made available.
            List users = GroupUtils.getGroup(assignableGroup).getUsers();
            Map newAssignees = new HashMap(users.size());
            Iterator it = users.iterator();
            while (it.hasNext())
            {
                String username = (String) it.next();
                String fullname = UserUtils.getUser(username).getFullName();
                newAssignees.put(username, fullname);
            }
            return newAssignees;
        }
    }

}

    This also needs the following mod to WorkflowUtil. (or at least this is my best, untested guess of what the mod should be).

    class WorkflowUtil {
   /** Return a workflow meta attribute for the given issue action. */
    public static String getMetaAttributeForAction(GenericValue issue, ActionDescriptor actionDesc, String metaKey)
    {

        final String assignableGroups = (String) actionDesc.getMetaAttributes().get(metaKey);
        if (assignableGroups != null && assignableGroups.indexOf("${") != -1)
        {
            GenericValue project = null;
            project = ManagerFactory.getProjectManager().getProject(issue);
            return WorkflowUtil.interpolateProjectKey(project, assignableGroups);
        }
        else
        {
            return assignableGroups;
        }
    }
}
