Symptoms

You have added the "Assign to Current User" post-function to the Create Issue transition of a workflow, and it appears not to work.

Diagnosis

On observation, this Post-function is ordered under the "Creates the issue originally" post-function in the list as shown below.

Cause

Any post functions placed after the "Creates issue originally" function will not have updates to the issue persisted to the database.

For this to work. It is required that "Assign to Current User" post-function comes before the  "Creates the issue originally" post-function in the order or list of postfunctions as shown below.

Resolution

  • Re-order the post-functions such that "Assign to Current User" post-function comes before the  "Creates the issue originally" post-function.
